Hi All, As you are aware, my project is to convert PCI drivers to be table driven. This week, I've worked on some of the PCI drivers which needed some modification. As we decided to create a new macro - PCI_MATCH, there was a change in strategy for conversion. Firstly as per the earlier strategy I pushed the code to bsdimp fork. Then from there I began the conversion process to consolidate the PCI drivers to conform to our new strategy. Most of last week went into changing the probe routines to use the new device tables that i created. I have also fixed numerous style issues that came up. I have already started the conversion process after rebasing to the latest FreeBSD build. After the work on probe routines has been completed, I worked on the earlier drivers such as amdsmb, ismt, iir, iwm, ips, ignore [1]. We need to convert the drivers in a certain way so that kldxref can find it and record it in linker hints. I am working on PCI drivers so as to make it easy for kldxref to find them. I am also learning the internals of the kernel, this will help our goal ultimately - Automatic module loading. [5] Please find my updated project homepage here.
