Rather than an "iointr" routine that decomposes a vector into an
IRQ, we maintain a vector table directly, hooking up each "iointr"
routine at the correct vector. This also allows us to hook device
interrupts up to specific vectors (c.f. Jensen).
We can shave even more cycles off, here, and I will, but it requires
some changes to the alpha_shared_intr stuff.
consoles for TC alphas. Based on code from Takuya Koumoto
<takuya-k@is.aist-nara.ac.jp> as well as some parts of Toru Nishimura's
and Matthias Drochner's work on pmax wscons. This relies on the
NEW_SCC_DRIVER.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
is set in the RPB's rpb_variation field. This fixes a bug where machines
(e.g. the 3000/900) would see that they could touch memory where a built-in
PMAGB-BA, assume that it was there, and panic later because the memory they
were accessing didn't look like PMAGB-BA registers (because it wasn't).
handling code so that if a given interrupt is disabled (and therefore
can't have caused the actual I/O interrupt), its handler won't be
called even if its bit is set in the interrupt register.
