4092 5571 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/ wire keyboard/serial module and device drivers in a more obvious way
(first a device driver is initialized and then it is connected to the generic module)
 
4078 5572 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/ add dummy serial line input and output drivers  
4043 5576 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Serial line module.  
4042 5577 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Complete emancipation of kernel serial controller drivers (i8042, ns16550 and
z8530). Provide a common keyboard module for PC and Sun keyboards. The serial
line module is still to follow.
 
4022 5580 d 18 h svoboda /trunk/ Move multiboot parsing to genarch/*/multiboot and adapt it for use with both ia32 and amd64. Multiboot info parsing now supported on amd64, too.  
4021 5580 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ There is no need to define ioport{8,16,32}_t types for each architecture separately.  
3963 5590 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ The kernel i8042 driver should be instance-neutral.  
3961 5590 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Unbreak sparc64.
Due to the lack of userspace bus drivers for the z8530 and ns16550,
we are currently handling exactly one interrupt from these devices
in userspace.
 
3960 5590 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/genarch/include/kbd/ Remove extern declarations.  
3941 5591 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Let IRQ claim methods take irq_t * instead of the instance argument.  
3940 5591 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3938 5591 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/genarch/ Embed the ns16550 irq structure into the ns16550 instance structure.  
3934 5592 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Improve the ns16550 driver.

- The driver support multiple instances.
- It still remembers the last registered IRQ in a global structure (cannot be
easily fixed now)
- Was converted to use PIO directly
 
3932 5592 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Kill arch/drivers/ega.h. Provide one-stop shopping
place for architectures with ia32 legacy I/O space.
 
3931 5592 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/genarch/ Improve the i8042 kernel driver (phase I).

- Convert the code to be instance-aware
- Still using hardcoded initialization from legacy IO address
- Use elegant i8042 register map for PIO
 
3930 5592 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Adapt most of the kernel to ioport8_t, ioport16_t and ioport32_t types.  
3927 5592 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/genarch/ Nuke i8042_poll().  
3907 5596 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove forgotten #ifdef arch  
3906 5596 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ IRQ handlers are using one superfluous argument and an unused elipsis.
On the other hand, IRQ claim functions would need to be passed the instance
argument.
 
3902 5597 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Introduce a more platform-neutral name for programmed I/O.

The new API looks like pio_read_n() or pio_write_n(), where n is 8, 16 or 32.
The old API (i.e. inb(), inw(), inl(), outb() outw(), outl()) may have made
some people think that the interface is only to be used with the separate I/O
space. That's not the case. This API is to be implemented on all platforms
so that we can finally have really generic kernel device drivers.
