Hi,

Are there any brief summaries, suitable for those not-so-experienced,
on what got changed in drivers's upporting structures when evolving
from 1.6 to 1.7?
The module code, which is compilable on 1.6-RELEASE, won't compile on
1.7-CURRENT.
1) no more machine/{bus,rman}.h
2) malloc, free -> k{malloc,free}
3) dev_ops
If your module is not hooked into kernel src tree, you probably need
to apply the patch I posted to submit@ several hours ago, and at least
manually install usr.sbin/config.
Best Regards,
