I plan to switch the sparc port to the new VME framework shortly.
This will involve changes to all vme device drivers as well as to some
on-board (the `obio' bus) drivers, which are: xd, xy, si, sw, ie and cgtwo.
Of these, I've only been able to test the VME `ie' driver. All the rest
have been converted the use the new interfaces, so they will at
least compile. Obviously, this leaves plenty of room for those devices
to stop working after I commit the changes.
So, if you have a sun4 or sun4m with a VME bus and one or more of the
devices mentioned above, you're cordially invited to test all the
new things.
If you're not tracking -current, or want to test even before the changes
are in the tree, contact me for pointers at source diffs and pre-compiled
kernel.
