Yes....Whose brainstorm was it to use the new convoluted bus nonsense in
FreeBSD 4.0? Clearly someone who never wrote a driver with a complex
controller with indexed memory mapped registers.Whats next, assembler drivers?
isa_compat.h? LOL...what college freshman thought of that? Is it really
that difficult to have the prefix_probe() function called based on the
config file?
Its seems rather humorous that the "generic" bus implementation requires
that isa drivers be hacked into the kernel with a build-time include. Very
humorous indeed. Is this a temporary condition as was the deboggle in v3.0?
any docs on this junk?
