Contrary to the AMD implementation, it doesn't use xcalls to distribute
the update to all CPUs but relies on cpuctl(8) to bind itself to the
right CPU -- to keep it simple and avoid possible problems with
hyperthreading.
Also, it doesn't parse the vendor supplied file to pick the right
part for the present CPU model but relies on userland to prepare
files with specific filenames. I'll commit a pkg for this in a minute
(pkgsrc/sysutils/intel-microcode).
The ioctl interface changed; compatibility is provided (should be
limited to COMPAT_NETBSD6 as soon as this is available).
The main goal of this change is to simplify the further addition of test
cases for the share/mk infrastructure by adding a few placeholder test
programs to the tests tree.
To not leave these test programs empty, I have added a bunch of extremely
simple test cases to them.
- Merge h_regex_att (att.c) and t_regex_att.sh into a single C test program.
The former was really a test program, and the latter just a very strange
driver for it.
- Stop using awk to generate the shell test programs. This is unnecessary
and confusing. Instead, change t_regex.sh to generate the test case
functions on the fly with eval (as done in many other places).
to incorporate the OS name and version.
XXX should also not hardcode ${BOOTDISK} in the name, but that would
require reordering stuff and more testing than I have time for right now.
Another day.
As discussed on current-users@ back in March, with some adjustments.

Known issues :
- contrary to OpenBSD one, only support pci at the moment, because I don't
have the necessary hardware to test PCMCIA / CARDUS Marvell Card
- not connected to pmf(9) (unable to test it)
