But what about the others. : /sys/dev/aha/aha_mca.c for example - it is part of module (aha), : allocs resources, but never releases them. aha doesn't support being unloaded. At the time it was written, CAM drivers couldn't be unloaded. So I never bothered to make it work right. Also, the aha driver was written before newbus, and then gradually hacked to be more and more newbus-like until it has reached the state it is in today, which is good enough to work, but has lots of nits still.
