Nothing mainstream yet. There is formidable (but achievable) architectural work involved first. If you're interested in helping, the first step is to convert all of the PCI drivers to Doug's new bus interface mechanism. You would want to work with Garrett, as he's revamping a lot of the ISA stuff in line with the same requirements. Ultimately, you need a fairly flexible bus architecture, and until we get there, anything interim is just an ugly hack. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
