    New bus_alloc_resources() API

    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.imp; is available for review and + coordination of committing.
