CVS commit: [mjf-devfs2] src/sys

[Matt Fleming <mjf%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   mjf
Date:           Thu Mar 20 12:11:07 UTC 2008

Modified Files:
        src/sys/kern [mjf-devfs2]: subr_devsw.c
        src/sys/sys [mjf-devfs2]: conf.h device.h

Log Message:
- Introduce new API for allowing device drivers to register/unregister
  names for device nodes along with a corresponding dev_t.

- Make device drivers that technically never get attached and need device
  nodes (mem, zero, null) provide an initialisation function, which gets
  an entry in a table of init functions that devsw_init() calls when the
  device switch tables are initialised.

- Since we're moving to a new way of notifying devfsd(8) of new devices,
  we no longer need to link together struct devices.
