- Change the softintr() macro to do nothing on FreeBSD. Previously,
this macro would set a bit in spending and schedule the softinterrupt
thread to run. However, the bs driver never actually registers a
a software interrupt handler, so all this work achieved nothing. From
the code it is not clear what exactly the softintr() macro is actually
supposed to be doing. It looks like it is supposed to be possibly
running the hardware interrupt handler maybe? This handler is only
present in the #ifdef __NetBSD__ code however. I have no idea how this
driver handles interrupts at all, but at least it compiles now.
by sigwait(). This prevents a signal from being sent to the process
when there are no application installed signal handlers.
Correct a typo in sigwait (foo -> foo[i]).
- Layout reorganisation to enhance portability. The driver now has
a relatively MI 'core' and a FreeBSD-specific layer over the top.
Since the NetBSD people have already done their own port, this is
largely just to help me with the BSD/OS port.
- Request ID allocation changed to improve performance (I'd been
considering switching to this approach after having failed to come
up with a better way to dynamically allocate request IDs, and seeing
Andy Doran use it in the NetBSD port of the driver convinced me
that I was wasting my time doing it any other way). Now we just
allocate all the requests up front.
- Maximum request count bumped back to 255 after characterisation
of a firmware issue (off-by-one causing it to crash with 256
outstanding commands).
- Control interface implemented. This allows 3ware's '3dm' utility to
talk to the controller. 3dm will be available from 3ware shortly.
- Controller soft-reset feature added; if the controller signals a
firmware or protocol error, the controller will be reset and all
outstanding commands will be retried.
type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
MD.

- Close a small race condition. The sched_lock mutex protects
p->p_stat as well as the run queues. Another CPU could change p_stat
of the process while we are waiting for the lock, and we would end up
scheduling a process that isn't runnable.
usb_ethersubr.c. This module maintains two queues for packets which
are each protected with one mutex. These are all the changes I can
do for now. Removing the USBD_NO_TSLEEP flag doesn't work yet: when
I tried it, the system would usually freeze up after a NIC had been
operating for a while. The usb_ethersubr module itself ought to
go away; this is the next thing I need to test.

* Fixes to the signal delivery code. Not quite right yet.
I would have preferred to wait until I have signal delivery actually
working but the current kernel in CVS doesn't build.
SCSI card (should it ever find its way into GENERIC); LPT (we don't need
to print during install time); the parallel 'geek' port; generic USB
driver (thus some attached USB devices will not be detected and thus the
user may wonder what is going on, we couldn't do anything with the device
if only ugen attached to it anyway and we are getting very, very low on

with them during installation; and USB printers (same argument as LPT).
