sys/arch/amd64/amd64: bus_space.c
sys/arch/amd64/include: bus.h
Log message:
twist the amd64 bus_space implementation a bit. instead of using the tag
as an identifier for IO or memory mappings that was checked inside the api,
turn it into a pointer to a structure of function pointers. the api then
generally becomes a set of macros that deref the function pointers on the
callers behalf. the idea is that following a pointer to very small
functions is cheap compared to doing compares continuously.
a notable exception to the macro wrappers is bus_space_barrier which is now
a static inline function. the only argument to it that gets used is the
flags, and thats usually a constant at compile time so it can be inlined
to a single fence instruction.
the kernel is smaller and the api is more cache friendly now.
