are related to using libsa's alloc(). Problems go away with this alloc().
The problem is that the libsa alloc() assumes we can grab memory off
the end of the program. That assumption doesn't work for us. It's
much better to use the alloc() we were using as it calls OF_claim()
to get memory.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
be properly used by any misc. cloning device. While here, correct
a comment to indicate that "open" is the only entry point and that
everything else is handled with fileops.
Move the trap/vector initialization for MPC6xx ports to mpc6xx_machdep.c
Also move softnet, install_extintr, mapiodev, kvtop. Add common BAT
initialization code.
Add user Altivec support.
Fix calls to OF_call_method in macppc/macppc/machdep.c.
Use ci_fpuproc in cpu_info instead of separate fpuproc.
Add separate syscall.c and defined __HAVE_SYSCALL_INTERN.
MALLOC_NOINLINE, and VNODE_OP_NOINLINE. The exceptions are when they
include another config files that already defines the options, or if
they are for an embedded board, just define a few extra options, and
do not already define PIPE_SOCKETPAIR.

Help from Allen Briggs, Jason Thorpe, and Matt Thomas.
We need to call cpu_cache_probe() early in boot (machdep.c).
Add 603 info for completeness, and use NBPG not PAGESIZE, as the
latter relies on uvm being setup (cpu_subr.c).
Let uvm_page_recolor() be called before uvm has been set up; just
note the page coloring value (uvm_page.c).
while here, correct labelsector/offset mismatch in writedisklabel,
when readdisklabel() have found the label at nonstandard location
(due to magic number search). a lot of other ports have the same problem.
disk label offset. use hardcoded "1" for now, i guess we need a new #define
in sys/disklabel_mbr.h. fixes ofwboot to boot kernel off from MBR-formatted
disk.
