Object Oriented Dynamic Attachment Bus Abstraction Layer
*cough*
``Newbus is the new bus abstraction layer architecture which saw its introduction in FreeBSD 4.0. Its goals are to provide a more object oriented means of interconnecting the various busses and devices which a host system provides to the Operating System. Its main features include amongst others: dynamic attaching, easy modularisation of drivers, and pseudo-busses.''
I probably still missed some things. Feel free to point them out and I'll try to rewrite it within the boundaries of english. ;)
machine/bus_memio.h <also in alpha and i386 version> I see that this one is basically an empty header, deprecated in usage?
I see we #define bus_memio_h in machine/bus.h, so basically all drivers including machine/bus_memio.h and bus_pio.h are kinda out of synch with newbus/busspace?
machine/bus_pio.h <also in alpha and i386 version> I see that this one is also an empty header, also deprecated in usage?
See above.
