I have added support for finding non-PNP devices to this
sample loadable ISA driver.
PCI support will come later.
If someone with a clue about newbus were to look it over it would be
really cool.
This creates a skeleton ISA device driver.
I don't pretend that it's fully correct or even opitimal
but it at least creates (and compiles) a 'clean' ISA driver.
Hopefully PCI/PCCARD/etc. support will be added when I understand it.
Unlike the old version this just creates a module. The old one tried to
create a new kernel with the driver to be tested.
configured in drivers.
Attempted to update the generated interrupt handler attachment to the
current "temporary" method. Not tested. To test it, someone would first
have to fix the bitrot in the ioctl command arg type.
create a skeleton device driver.
one for a real device and the other for a pseudo device.
they each take one argument which is the name (prefix) for the driver.
they add the new file to the /sys tree and add appropriate config files
etc for a build.
hopefully others will build on this so that we get
1/ these drivers improved and the shell scripts
improved in how/where that hook the new code in.
2/ similar tools for providing skeletons for other
modules (I'm tempted to do a VFS filesystem skeleton :)
please take a look and fix anything that maybe should be added.
they compile and link fine,
but I think I wouldn't trust them, as faar as RUNNING yet :)
(well they really wouldn't do very much being skeletons..
we need to add PCI and EISA skeletons as well
followed by a SCSI driver skeleton.
