# c43ac89a 20-Oct-2006 Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org>

Move more MD devices and options out of MI NOTES.


# c2762838 20-Oct-2006 Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org>

The VGA_DEBUG option only exists on {amd64,i386,ia64}.
Also remove 'device io' from amd64 NOTES; DEFAULTS takes care of it.


# e54ad0a1 19-Oct-2006 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

Remove references to pccard.conf

a couple of function pointers in the softc that the commuication
protocols setup in their own attac

Update the ipmi(4) driver:
- Split out the communication protocols into their own files and use
a couple of function pointers in the softc that the commuication
protocols setup in their own attach routine.
- Add support for the SSIF interface (talking to IPMI over SMBus).
- Add an ACPI attachment.
- Add a PCI attachment that attaches to devices with the IPMI interface
subclass.
- Split the ISA attachment out into its own file: ipmi_isa.c.
- Change the code to probe the SMBIOS table for an IPMI entry to just use
pmap_mapbios() to map the table in rather than trying to setup a fake
resource on an isa device and then activating the resource to map in the
table.
- Make bus attachments leaner by adding attach functions for each
communication interface (ipmi_kcs_attach(), ipmi_smic_attach(), etc.)
that setup per-interface data.
- Formalize the model used by the driver to handle requests by adding an
explicit struct ipmi_request object that holds the state of a given
request and reply for the entire lifetime of the request. By bundling
the request into an object, it is easier to add retry logic to the various
communication backends (as well as eventually support BT mode which uses
a slightly different message format than KCS, SMIC, and SSIF).
- Add a per-softc lock and remove D_NEEDGIANT as the driver is now MPSAFE.
- Add 32-bit compatibility ioctl shims so you can use a 32-bit ipmitool
on FreeBSD/amd64.
- Add ipmi(4) to i386 and amd64 NOTES.

# 302981e7 29-Jul-2006 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Remove sio(4) and related options from MI files to amd64, i386

Remove sio(4) and related options from MI files to amd64, i386
and pc98 MD files. Remove nodevice and nooption lines specific
to sio(4) from ia64, powerpc and sparc64 NOTES. There were no
such lines for arm yet.
sio(4) is usable on less than half the platforms, not counting
a future mips platform. Its presence in MI files is therefore
increasingly becoming a burden.

http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html
It was additionally cleaned up by me.
It is still a work-in-progress and thus is purposefully not in GENERIC.
And it conflicts with nve(4), so only one should be loaded.

Enable a few more things in x86 NOTES to get broader LINT coverage:
- Turn on iwi(4), ipw(4), and ndis(4) on amd64 and i386.
- Turn on ral(4) and ural(4) on i386, pc98, and amd64.

- Add C-bus and ISA front-ends for le(4) so it can actually replace
lnc(4) on PC98 and i386. The ISA front-end supports the same non-PNP
network cards as lnc(4) did and additionally a couple of PNP ones.
Like lnc(4), the C-bus front-end of le(4) only supports C-NET(98)S
and is untested due to lack of such hardware, but given that's it's
based on the respective lnc(4) and not too different from the ISA
front-end it should be highly likely to work.
- Remove the descriptions of le(4), which where converted from lnc(4),
from sys/i386/conf/NOTES and sys/pc98/conf/NOTES as there's a common
one in sys/conf/NOTES.

- Added support for ATI_fragment_shader registers for r200.
- Improved r300 support, needed for latest r300 DRI driver.

- Software fallbacks fixed for Rage 128, which used to render badly or hang.
- Some issues reported by WITNESS are fixed.
- i915 module Makefile added, as the driver may now be working, but is untested.
- Added scripts for copying and preprocessing DRM CVS for inclusion in the
kernel. Thanks to Daniel Stone for getting me started on that.
