34  * Some drivers need to be able to keep accurate records of open/close
35  * calls to determine whether a device is still in use.  To allow this
36  * open/close calls have been typed and the type is passed as a third
37  * argument in open/close calls, as in:
38  *	(*cdevsw[getmajor(dev)].d_open)(getminor(dev), flag, OTYP_CHR);
39  * or
40  *	(*cdevsw[getmajor(dev)].d_close)(getminor(dev), flag, OTYP_CHR);
41  * Five types of open/close calls have been defined:
42  * OTYP_BLK:	open/close of a block special file
43  * OTYP_MNT:	open/close for mounting/unmounting a file system
44  * OTYP_CHR:	open/close of a character special file
45  * OTYP_SWP:	open/close of a swapping device.
46  * OTYP_LYR:	open/close calls from a driver to another driver,
47  *		without a file being open for the dev of the lower driver.
48  *
49  * The first four types of open/close calls obey the protocol rule
50  * that many more opens may occur for a given minor(dev) for that type of open,
51  * but a close call happens only on the last close of that dev.
52  * This protocol allows a flag to be used (set by opens, cleared by closes)
53  * to keep track of the state for a given minor device value.
54  *
55  * Calls of the fifth type (OTYP_LYR) must obey the protocol rule
56  * that open and close call calls are always paired.  This protocol
57  * permits several drivers to be layers above the same device driver.
58  * A counter can be used for this protocol.
59  *
60  * The value OTYPCNT is defined for the purpose of declaring arrays
61  * in drivers and for performing range checks (0 <= otyp < OTYPCNT)
62  * on values passed.
