through the use of the config file flags as opposed to the option
"NSECS_MULTI". "NSECS_MULTI" has been removed from the driver.
The new capability allows boot-time modification of the config.
I made the changes I sent you before. In the interests of cleanliness, I made
modifications to /sys/i386/isa/tw.c to kill the warnings and make it compile
clean. While I was at it, I also made a bunch of internal functions static.

flags parameter to all xxstart routines so that the correct information can
be passed down into the device specific routines. This is needed to ensure
that ccb/scb allocation routines don't hang.

higher level scsi code.
Spls should never be conditionalized, so don't do so here.
Restructure the get_scb routine so that we can't get into an infinite
loop if the ccbs are exhausted and we are are called with SCSI_NOSLEEP set.
Other driver maintainer's that based their scb allocation routines on Julian's
code should look at these changes and implement them for their driver.
The aic7xxx driver inspired these changes because early revs of the
aic7770 chips have so few SCBs that you can actually run out. If you
have a rev C or aic7770 (as is reported by the driver probe) and had more
than 2 drives, you could get into an infinite loop when using up all of
the SCBs. Since the driver will only allow two SCBs per device and I
only had two devices, I never saw this problem on my Rev C card.
Bzero only 19 bytes of the scb instead of 2k (ack!). This was a hold
over from when a struct SCB only contained the information downloaded
to the board, but we now store kernel driver data in there as well. This
greatly lowers the overhead for small transactions (I get ~1MB/sec for
dds with a 512 byte block size).

incomplete declarations here any more. Some things depend on
incomplete declarations elsewhere. The `offset' arg to d_mmap_t is
bogus (it is `int' but should be `vm_offset_t') but it is what the
driver mmap functions actually accept, although they are passed a
`vm_offset_t'.
Function declararions in headers should always be complete to avoid
warnings from `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' for compiling modules that
don't even use the offending declarations.
don't expect this to work yet.. but at least they're here..
(hey this cvs stuff is fun!)
activate with a line exactly like the isa line in the config file,
(but specifying eisa :)
patches to come..
Headers should always use `__inline' for inline functions to avoid
syntax errors when modules that don't even use the offending functions
are compiled with `gcc -ansi'.
We now have RELEASE=CURRENT in the CVS-tree.
If this hasn't been edited, we will use "BUILT-yyyymmdd" where the time is
that of the compile, and leave it at that, we can't do any better.
If there is no serious objections, I will modify the "cvs co" script on
freefall to fiddle this file after checkout so that it becomes
CURRENT-yyyymmdd, where the time is that of the checkout.
Change the interfaces of these functions to save space. The code
that takes the least amount of space is often the opposite to what
you might expect. E.g., it helps to waste a few bytes passing
pointers so that the compiler can't see that certain addresses
are identical (gcc likes to waste space by reloading fat constants
even when the constant is already in a register).
Rewrite getbootdev() to save 80 bytes of space and to make it less
ugly. 32 bytes were saved simply by omitting the continue statements
in the pseudo-switch.
recently introduced bloat in just 2 calls to biosread(), although
very little in calls to putc() and serial_putc(). Gcc produces
amazingly bad code for unnecessary conversions. E.g., if it has
`int x' in register %edx and wants to pass a char, then it could
simply push %edx and access only one byte in the callee. Instead,
it sometimes unnecessarily spills %edx; it always sign extends
%edx and pushes the result.
Remove useless `extern' in function prototypes.
Remove unused declaration of `end'.
Declare pbzero() and pcpy() like the library bzero and bcopy().
Declare printf() properly.
do fit, and beeping in case of an overflow.
. Drop a comment about the ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' option into
README.serial.
. Increase the name buffer for the root directory from 100 bytes
to 8 KB; this is in no way ideal, but (IMHO) the best that can
be done by now. People did encounter problems with their root
dir name listing overflowing the allocated buffer space. Once
we've got the three-stage boot, we should implement some basic
malloc(). Swap space is already getting tight now, perhaps the
swap should go into another 64 KB segment instead.
. Make the keyboard probe less paranoid. It should not give up in
case of a keyboard that's continuously demanding RESEND's. Even
though the keyboard reset apparently has not been reported to be
complete, it's at the very least proven that there IS something
like a keyboard available.
This solves problems with the ``Gateway-2000 AllKey programmable''
(sp?) keyboard, that experienced a total hang with the previous
probe.
Thanks goes to Scott Blachowicz <scott@statsci.com> for his
extensive testing of my various interim (debugging) bootblocks
to get this working.
