** Turning on or off device drivers

Each device driver has an associated configure switch.  The table at
the end of this file gives the list of configure switches.  For many
devices there are multiple drivers to choose from.  


** What the configure switches do

Each configure switch has two effects.  First, it defines a CPP symbol
that turns on or off the hooks that autoconfigure the device and add
it to the list of available devices.  Second, it adds the source code
for the driver to a make variable so that the code for the driver is
compiled and linked into the kernel.


** What are those extra numbers

Each driver is followed by one or more triplets of three numbers.
These triplets specify combinations of I/O address, spl, and, pic that
are believed to work. 


** Then comes the name of the device to users.  %d is a unit number.


***

All source file names are relative to .../gnumach/i386/i386at for Mach
drivers, and .../gnumach/linux/src/drivers for Linux drivers.
