NAME

     intio -- X68K internal I/O space driver


SYNOPSIS

     intio0 at mainbus0


DESCRIPTION

     intio is a virtual device corresponding to the x68k internal I/O space.

     Internal I/O space spans from 0xc00000 to 0xffffff of the x68k physical
     address space, and is mapped permanently in the kernel virtual space at
     the very early time of the kernel startup procedure.

     intio driver manages the internal I/O space of x68k.

           ·   Address range management to avoid confliction of address space
               of which devices probe by touching hardware port is difficult.

           ·   Interrupt vector management.

           ·   bus_space(9) and bus_dma(9) implementation.

           ·   Other utility functions.

     intio is always required to run the NetBSD kernel.
