we can switch to 64M-sized identity mappings and not having to map the
first 64M. This is especially important because the first 1M contains
the VGA frame buffer and is otherwise a legacy memory range. Best to
make as little assumptions about it as possible. Switching to 64M-sized
mappings is important to avoid creating overlapping translations, which
have the side-effect of triggering machine checks. This is currently
what's preventing us to boot on an Intel Tiger 4.
Note that since we currently use 256M-sized identity mappings, we
would reduce the size of the mappings and consequently increase the
TLB pressure. The performance implications of this are minimal if
measurable at all because identify mappings are not our primary
means for memory management.
Also note that there's no guarantee that physical memory exists at
64M. Then again, we didn't had the guarantee when we were loading at
5M. We'll deal with this when it's a problem.

change also disables interrupts around non-S4 suspends whereas before we
did not do this. Our version of AcpiEnterSleepStateS4bios was almost
identical to the ACPICA version.
Without this option it is not possible to omit the driver from the
configuration file and successfully build a kernel.
This option is specific to alpha.
Restructure the way ATA/ATAPI commands are processed, use a common
ata_request structure for both. This centralises the way requests
are handled so locking is much easier to handle.
The driver is now layered much more cleanly to seperate the lowlevel
HW access so it can be tailored to specific controllers without touching
the upper layers. This is needed to support some of the newer
semi-intelligent ATA controllers showing up.
The top level drivers (disk, ATAPI devices) are more or less still
the same with just corrections to use the new interface.
Pull ATA out from under Gaint now that locking can be done in a sane way.

Fixed alot of small bugs in the chipset code for various chips now

found only many tv-cards.
We currently use more ore less evil hacks (slow_msp_audio sysctl) to
configure the various variants of these chips in order to have
stereo autodetection work. Nevertheless, this doesn't always work
even though it _should_, according to the specs.
This is, for example, the case for some popular Hauppauge models sold
sold in Germany.
However, the Linux driver always worked for me and others. Looking at
the sourcecode you will find that the linux-driver uses a very much
enhanced approach to program the various msp34xx chipset variants,
which is also found in the specs for these chips.
This is a port of the Linux MSP34xx code, written by Gerd Knorr
<kraxel@bytesex.org>, who agreed to re-release his code under a
BSD license for this port.
A new config option "BKTR_NEW_MSP34XX_DRIVER" is added, which is required
to enable the new driver. Otherwise the old code is used.
The msp34xx.c file is diff-reduced to the linux-driver to make later
modifications easier, thus it doesn't follow style(9) in most cases.

large to huge amounts of small or medium sized receive buffers. The problem
with these situations is that they eat up the available DMA address space
very quickly when using mbufs or even mbuf clusters. Additionally this
facility provides a direct mapping between 32-bit integers and these buffers.
This is needed for devices originally designed for 32-bit systems. Ususally
the virtual address of the buffer is used as a handle to find the buffer as
soon as it is returned by the card. This does not work for 64-bit machines
and hence this mapping is needed.

ACPI nodes with the plug and play ID's defined for a "Generic ISA Bus
Device" as defined in section 10.7 of the ACPI 2.0 specification. This
gives machines like the Libretto that contain a fake ISA bus that is not
connected via a PCI-ISA bridge an ISA bus for ISA devices to attach to.

for now. It introduces a OFW PCI bus driver and a generic OFW PCI-PCI
bridge driver. By utilizing these, the PCI handling is much more elegant
now.
The advantages of the new approach are:
- Device enumeration should hopefully be more like on Solaris now,
so unit numbers should match what's printed on the box more
closely.
- Real interrupt routing is implemented now, so cardbus bridges
etc. have at least a chance to work.
- The quirk tables are gone and have been replaced by (hopefully
sufficient) heuristics.
- Much cleaner code.
There was also a report that previously bogus interrupt assignments
are fixed now, which can be attributed to the new heuristics.
A pitfall, and the reason why this is not the default yet, is that
it changes device enumeration, as mentioned above, which can make
it necessary to change the system configuration if more than one
unit of a device type is present (on a system with two hme cars,
for example, it is possible that hme0 becomes hme1 and vice versa
after enabling the option). Systems with multiple disk controllers
may need to be booted into single user (and require manual specification
of the root file system on boot) to adjust the fstab.
Nevertheless, I would like to encourage users to use this option,
so that it can be made the default soon.
In detail, the changes are:
- Introduce an OFW PCI bus driver; it inherits most methods from the
generic PCI bus driver, but uses the firmware for enumeration,
performs additional initialization for devices and firmware-specific
interrupt routing. It also implements an OFW-specific method to allow
child devices to get their firmware nodes.
- Introduce an OFW PCI-PCI bridge driver; again, it inherits most
of the generic PCI-PCI bridge driver; it has it's own method for
interrupt routing, as well as some sparc64-specific methods (one to
get the node again, and one to adjust the bridge bus range, since
we need to reenumerate all PCI buses).
- Convert the apb driver to the new way of handling things.
- Provide a common framework for OFW bridge drivers, used be the two
drivers above.
- Provide a small common framework for interrupt routing (for all
bridge types).
- Convert the psycho driver to the new framework; this gets rid of a
bunch of old kludges in pci_read_config(), and the whole
preinitialization (ofw_pci_init()).
- Convert the ISA MD part and the EBus driver to the new way
interrupts and nodes are handled.
- Introduce types for firmware interrupt properties.
- Rename the old sparcbus_if to ofw_pci_if by repo copy (it is only
required for PCI), and move it to a more correct location (new
support methodsx were also added, and an old one was deprecated).
- Fix a bunch of minor bugs, perform some cleanups.
In some cases, I introduced some minor code duplication to keep the
new code clean, in hopes that the old code will be unifdef'ed soon.

This commit has two pieces. One half is the watchdog kernel code which lives
primarily in hardclock() in sys/kern/kern_clock.c. The other half is a userland
daemon which, when run, will keep the watchdog from firing while the userland
is intact and functioning.

with a new implementation that has a mostly reentrant "addchar"
routine, supports multiple message buffers in the kernel, and hides
the implementation details from callers.
The new code uses a kind of sequence number to represend the current
read and write positions in the buffer. This approach (suggested
mainly by bde) permits the read and write pointers to be maintained
separately, which reduces the number of atomic operations that are
required. The "mostly reentrant" above refers to the way that while
it is now always safe to have any number of concurrent writers,
readers could see the message buffer after a writer has advanced
the pointers but before it has witten the new character.

NB: Since the fact that multiple disk devices are in fact the same
device is not known to GEOM, the geom taste/spoil process cannot
fully catch all corner cases and this module can therefore be
confused if you do the right wrong things.
NB: The disk level drivers need to do the right thing for this to
be useful, and that is not by definition currently the case.
