<h2>New bus_alloc_resources() API</h2>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:imp@FreeBSD.org">&a.imp;</a></p>
<p>Recently, bus_alloc_resources has been added to the kernel. This,
coupled with the bus_space_{read,write} family of functions can
significantly reduce the setup needed for driver resource allocation.
Unfortunately, most of the drivers in the tree have not yet been
converted, thus ensuring that the old, bad way continues. What is needed
is for someone to go through the drivers in the tree and convert them.
After conversion, they need to ensure that they still work on at least some
hardware and work with someone to get them committed. <a
href="mailto:imp@FreeBSD.org">&a.imp;</a> is available for review and
coordination of committing.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ability to read, write and understand C code.</li>
<li>Knowledge about device drivers.</li>
<li>Access to hardware to test on.</li>
</ul>
