Modified files:
sys/sys systm.h
sys/conf files
Added files:
sys/kern subr_unit.c
Log:
Add a new API for allocating unit number (-like) resources.
Allocation is always lowest free unit number.
A mixed range/bitmap strategy for maximum memory efficiency. In
the typical case where no unit numbers are freed total memory usage
is 56 bytes on i386.
malloc is called M_WAITOK but no locking is provided (yet). A bit of
experience will be necessary to determine the best strategy. Hopefully
a "caller provides locking" strategy can be maintained, but that may
require use of M_NOWAIT allocation and failure handling.
A userland test driver is included.
