I would really like to se us move all the device probe/attach code to run in "normal context", ie enable interrupts before we probe everything. The main argument for this is the drivers can then use the full complement of kernel infrastructure and interrupts during probe attach. Drivers needs to be able to function in this environment anyway if they support removeable devices (pccard, usb, etc). Are there reasons to not do this I have overlooked ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
