if there is no character device associated with the block device. In this
case that doesn't matter because bdevvp() doesn't use the character
device structure.
I can use the pointy bit of the axe too.
It never makes sense to specify MAP_COPY_NEEDED without also specifying
MAP_COPY_ON_WRITE, and vice versa. Thus, MAP_COPY_ON_WRITE suffices.

instances to a parent bus.
* Define a new method BUS_ADD_CHILD which can be called from DEVICE_IDENTIFY
to add new instances.
* Add a generic implementation of DEVICE_PROBE which calls DEVICE_IDENTIFY
for each driver attached to the parent's devclass.
* Move the hint-based isa probe from the isa driver to a new isahint driver
which can be shared between i386 and alpha.
inodes were synced every 15 seconds. This is now reversed as during
directory create, we cannot commit the directory entry until its
inode has been written. With this switch, the inodes will be more
likely to be written by the time that the directory is written thus
reducing the number of directory rollbacks that are needed.
Changed to `const void *'. utrace() is undocumented, so nothing should
notice.
Fixed missing consts for utrace() and ktrace() in syscalls.master.
sys/ktrace.h is missing some Lite2 changes of shorts to ints.
with malloc type at the tail of the list changed the list from
linear to circular. This seemed to cause surprisingly few problems,
but it now causes weird output from `vmstat -m', probably because
a more important malloc type is now at the tail of the list.
Fix it by abusing ks_limit instead of ks_next as a flag for being
on the list. Don't forget to clear the flag when a malloc type is
uninit'ed. Uninit'ing is still fundamentally broken -- it loses
history.
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
unp_internalize() takes a reference to the descriptor. If the send
fails after unp_internalize(), the control mbuf would be freed ophaning
the reference.

through' to the C compiler.
* Allow the interface to specify a default implementation for methods.
* Allow 'static' methods which are not device specific.
* Add a simple scheme for probe routines to return a priority value. To
make life simple, priority values are negative numbers (positive numbers
are standard errno codes) with zero being the highest priority. The
driver which returns the highest priority will be chosen for the device.
upset about it (and generate things like __main() calls that are reserved
for main()). Renaming was phk's suggestion, but I'd already thought about
it too. (phk liked my suggested name tada() but I decided against it :-)
