Hi guys, most of you know I am working on the documentation for newbus/busspace and consequently device drivers. (Heaven knows how Bill Paul, Poul-Henning, Peter and Matthew already have grey hairs by now *g*.) What I haven't been able to define is a discription for newbus. Sure, it is the new bus structure, but how is it best to be described? ``As a system that allows for a very structured device and bus architecture by means of interconnecting busses and devices in a logical way.'' Also, did I miss important files functions in this list: machine/bus.h <which maps to sys/alpha/include/bus.h or sys/i386/include/bus.h depending on which hardware we run) machine/bus_memio.h <also in alpha and i386 version> I see that this one is basically an empty header, deprecated in usage? machine/bus_pio.h <also in alpha and i386 version> I see that this one is also an empty header, also deprecated in usage? machine/resource.h <alpha/i386> sys/bus.h <machine independant> sys/bus_private.h <machine independant> sys/module.h <machine independant> The function houdeholding is for later today. =) -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd W/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/B-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; How the gods kill...
