4311 5728 d 22 h decky /trunk/ change the way how input devices are wired together according to ticket #44
(also the proposal http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/private/helenos-devel/2009-March/002507.html)		  
4267 5740 d 12 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ str_ncpy() vs str_cpy(). TODO: The same in userspace.  
4220 5747 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/ update for string changes  
4148 5763 d 0 h decky /trunk/ as kernel little brother drivers are not needed anymore, the device numbers do not have to be correlated between kernel and uspace in any way
introduce new syscall sys_device_assign_devno() for generating system-wide unique device numbers for uspace		  
4122 5768 d 1 h decky /trunk/ bring back HID on ia64  
4114 5768 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ Fix one RAW dependency.  
4103 5768 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ update for the new scheme of wiring device drivers to keyboard/serial modules  
4060 5772 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia64/ Clean up ski handling in kernel.  
4043 5773 d 18 h jermar /trunk/ Serial line module.  
4042 5773 d 19 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.		  
4031 5776 d 12 h svoboda /trunk/ Init-task names for ia64.  
4026 5777 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ Make the kbd port drivers platform neutral by using PIO functions.
The kernel now supplies the physical address and the kernel virtual address.		  
4023 5777 d 14 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/arch/ Unify arch_pre_main() comments.  
3982 5780 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Do not set sysinfo for uspace drivers directly in the kernel drivers.  
3963 5786 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ The kernel i8042 driver should be instance-neutral.  
3934 5789 d 11 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 5789 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Kill arch/drivers/ega.h. Provide one-stop shopping
place for architectures with ia32 legacy I/O space.		  
3902 5793 d 19 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.		  
3900 5793 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ Get rid of CONFIG_NS16550_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN and CONFIG_I8042_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN.  
3880 5796 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ simplify configuration
introduce arch_construct_function and inb/outb (sometimes empty) on all platforms
various code cleanup
