Some device drivers uses splusb function.
But it is not mentioned in spl(9) man page.
I feel that splusb should be explained in spl(9) man page.

$ grep -r splusb /usr/src/sys
and
$ man 9 spl

Please fix this.

 that's really the right thing.

 all calls to splusb(9) indicate old drivers that need to be updated.
 if anything, this info should be added to usbdi(9).

 Thanks for your information.
 Newer device drivers, for example, athn and axen still use splusb(9).
 Please add appropriate explanation in usbdi(9).
 And please note "do not use splusb" like sentence in spl(9) too.

 splusb does not belong in spl(9) as it's USB specific.
 it's just an alias.

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: mrg@NetBSD.org
State-Changed-When: Fri, 23 Aug 2019 07:30:11 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
splusb(9) is a deprecated interface.  that it's to be removed is
documented in sys/dev/usb/TODO.usbmp, and i just clarified that.

i think that's sufficient.
