[PATCH] Rump on GNU/Hurd (4): Userspace PCI I/O

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

This patch adds GNU/Hurd support to pci-userspace. Some notes:

* It uses libpciaccess to query/modify the PCI config stuff. This part of the 
code is pretty
  generic, perhaps this approach can be useful to other ports?

* It relies on the patch I sent yesterday (allow setting LDFLAGS from 
pci-userspace Makefile)
  to setup libpciaccess dependency

* It uses experimental GNU Mach interfaces that were added for DDE:
  - vm_allocate_contiguous() to allocate contigously physical memory
  - device_intr_register() / device_intr_enable() to synchronize with interrupts

* It includes code from other people under GPLv2; I'm not sure if this may be 
an issue wrt licensing
  policy of Rump as this is only targetted at the pci-userspace module. In any 
case if you
  think it's an issue let me know and we'll try to find a solution:
  - intrthread() is heavily based on intloop() from hurd/libddekit/interrupt.c
  - experimentalUser.c is an automatically generated file copied from the Hurd 
build tree. I
    would welcome some help from MIG experts on how to do this in a more 
elegant way.
  - intr.h was just copied from GNU Mach source tree (I don't think it is 
copyright-significant
    though).
