most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
but also IT ACTUALLY WORKS!
FreeBSD with options JREMOD now runs with no entries in the devsw tables
prior to the devices puting their own entries there..
Thanks to bde and terry for thoughts and comments.
next stop 'Real' devfs support in devices.
add a few safety checks in specfs because
now it's possible to get entries in [cd]devsw[] which are ALL NULL
so it's better to discover this BEFORE jumping into the d_open() entry..
more check to come later.. this getsthe code to the stage where I
can start testing it, even if I haven't caught every little error case...
I guess I'll find them quick enough..
This is a place for all things to do with conf.c and conf.h
that are not machine specific.
Other things that are at present in i386/isa/conf.c might
migrate into here..
It's the first small step in cleaning up the device interface
to make it more dynamic and to assist in more modular drivers
(i.e. both loadable via LKMs and linked in..
e.g able to add a device without having to edit conf.c)
this code is not yet used and the whole thing will be conditionally
compiled in for a while till proven useful :)
