46cefd51ecSDoug Rabson.Sh DESCRIPTION
47cefd51ecSDoug Rabson.Pp
48cefd51ecSDoug RabsonThese two methods manage a bus specific set of instance variables of
49cefd51ecSDoug Rabsona child device.  The intention is that each different type of bus
50cefd51ecSDoug Rabsondefines a set of appropriate instance variables (such as ports and
51cefd51ecSDoug Rabsonirqs for ISA bus etc.)
52cefd51ecSDoug Rabson.Pp
53cefd51ecSDoug RabsonThis information could be given to the child device as a struct but
54cefd51ecSDoug Rabsonthat makes it hard for a bus to add or remove variables without
55cefd51ecSDoug Rabsonforcing an edit and recompile for all drivers which may not be
56cefd51ecSDoug Rabsonpossible for vendor supplied binary drivers.
57cefd51ecSDoug Rabson.Sh RETURN VALUES
58cefd51ecSDoug RabsonZero is returned on success, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
