Hi,
I'm working on changing doshutdownhooks() and co.
Its an interim change, until blymn@ gets his act together.
See the
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2006/04/04/0005.html
thread for the discussion.
It touches a lot of MD code, much of which I have no idea how to
change, despite the change being trivial.
For example, there is #if defined(OPENBSD) stuff. How do we handle
common functions which are shared between us and them ?
Or a device driver will have non shutdown specific hook registered as a
hack ( maybe a chip_reset() ) function.
What do I do then ? I've got a half baked (MD) patch... do I just post
and ask for review ?
Thanks,
