that conflicted with libc. We changed them to lgetchar() and xputchar()
respectively; larn 12.2 changed them to ttgetch() and ttputch(). After
reflecting on this for a while I've decided to adopt the larn 12.2
names; not so much for compatibility but for consistency going forward.
So, massrename them. Also make ttputch() static.
Most of this code was removed ages ago, probably when dm(6) was invented;
long before -r1.1 in the NetBSD tree in any event.
Now remove the last fragment of it.
Also nuke the file of US holidays 1987-1993 that we've been carrying
around for no reason.
Logically the previous code should have worked but didn't. It appeared to
fail when reading the relocation table from physical memory.
To work-around this issue we now compact the relocation table (it shrinks
from ~800 entries to ~15 on a 2.5MB kernel) The compacted table is small
enough to copy into the page of memory we use to do the relocations. The
relocation code can now find the table, and carry out the relocations.
To help with debugging the screen border will change colour:
Red: Running without the MMU turned on (IE 1-1 physical mapping)
Note that the border will stay red a while as we're copying the
kernel over at this point.
Green: We've finished copying the kernel over (unless the code breaks
this will be rarely seen)
Blue: We're running on the bootstrap L1 table, and just about to call
the kernel.
Other tweaks include:
* copy the kernel 32bits at a time, rather than 8 bits at a time.
* assert that the relocations are 32bit aligned (so the above works)
* flush the cache and write buffers before turning off the MMU.
Tested by myself on an A7000+. Tested by skrll@ on Risc-PC and A7000.
host controller implementations, start with two little functions
which fake up string descriptors (which were inconststent, language
table fetching didn't interoperate with other code in the tree)
