There is nothing isa-specific about the i8042.h >file, except the two IO port control/data addresses (which are duplicated >from isa.h). IMHO, the "chip defines" should have gone under >i386/include/ic so they could be accessable as #include ><machine/ic/i8042.h> without having to obsuscate the code with -I paths or >bogus #include lines. They shouldn't go in i386/include either. There's nothing i386-specific about them. NetBSD now has them in in /sys/dev/ic. I might prefer /sys/ic. i8042.h got renamed to i8042reg.h. I don't like this. An `ic' may have more attributes than registers - it may have an instruction set..., and if you think of registers as being their bus addresses, then the registers aren't part of the ic.
