SubjectRFC: Resource Management
Date
I need some opinions about hardware resource management:

1) Should hardware resources be specified as 'from & number'
or as 'first & last'? (I prefer the latter).

2) Is the order of request/release vital?

3) What is the recommended way to do a SMP processor lock?

4) Is there *ANY* particular thing that would make your
life easier when dealing with hardware resources?

Note: an EXPERIMENTAL patch for kernel v1.3.70 is available at
http://www.magi.com/~dmtech/pnp/pnp-patch.1.gz
which has all the new management features added so far.
