  block: Add n64 cart driver

block: Add n64 cart driver

2021-02-21T22:37:28+00:00

This adds support for the Nintendo 64 console's carts. Carts are a
read-only media ranging from 8mb to 64mb.

Only one cart can be connected at once, and switching it requires a
reboot.

No module support to save RAM, as the target has 8mb RAM.

block: remove skd driver

2021-02-04T14:45:32+00:00

The STEC S1220 PCIe SSD cards are EOL since 2014 and not supported by
the vendor anymore. As the skd driver for this SSD is starting to cause
problems with improvements to the block layer, stop supporting it in
newer kernel versions.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

virtio-blk: remove VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI support

2020-02-06T08:40:26+00:00

Since the need for a special flag to support SCSI passthrough on a
block device was added in May 2017 the SCSI passthrough support in
virtio-blk has been disabled.  It has always been a bad idea
(just ask the original author..) and we have virtio-scsi for proper
passthrough.  The feature also never made it into the virtio 1.0
or later specifications.

docs: blockdev: convert to ReST

2019-07-15T12:20:26+00:00

Rename the blockdev documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

The drbd sub-directory contains some graphs and data flows.
Add those too to the documentation.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
