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.
