NetBSD CVS Digest volume 2, issue 11

[Mark Kirby <mark%fishladder.co.uk@localhost>]

This issue:

kernel: Device attach and detach notifications are now exposed via / 
dev/drvctl [Jared D. McNeill ]

uberry(4): A driver to allow RIM BlackBerries to charge from the USB  
port [Christos Zoulas]

Stop and start bluetooth services across suspend. [Jared D. McNeill ]

Add bio(4) support, heavily from OpenBSD. The driver doesn't know  
which physical drives belong to which logical drive, so all the  
physical drives will show up for logical drive 0, and also appear for  
logical drives that are rebuilding so that the rebuild state will show  
the physical drive being rebuilt. [Michael L. Hitch]

Run shutdown hooks whether or not the kernel has panicked. Restores  
NetBSD's shutdown behavior of more than 6 years before rev 1.176. Ok  
joerg@.
It is essential that we restore some hardware to initial conditions  
before rebooting, in order to avoid interfering with the BIOS  
bootstrap. For example, if NetBSD gives control back to the Soekris  
comBIOS while the kernel text is write-protected, the BIOS bootstrap  
hangs during the power-on self-test, "POST: 0123456789bcefghip". In  
principle, bus masters can also interfere with BIOS boot. [David Young]
