Is anybody willing to serve as editor on a "FreeBSD future kernel architecture" document ? You need to be good at writing, and you need to understand the issues too. PS: Terry forgot Power Management: The "PM" module can inform the kernel that: "CPU-slowed down" "CPU-speed up" "suspend imminent" "revive complete" The kernel can tell the PM module to: "slow down the CPU" "speed up the CPU" "suspend" "revive" The PM can tell a driver: "device powered down" "device sleeping" "device online" A driver can tell the PM: "power off device" "sleep device" "online device" possibly more. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
