- Reduce available SPL levels for hardware devices to none, vm, sched, high.
- Acquire kernel_lock only for interrupts at IPL_VM.
- Implement threaded soft interrupts.
This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.

that allow a (normally broken/limited) device to restrict the bus address
range it can talk to. this is used by bce(4) to limit DMA addresses to
1GB range, the maximum the chip can address.
all this is from Yorick Hardy <yhardy@uj.ac.za> with input from several
people on tech-kern.
XXX: bus_dma(9) needs an update still.
reliably supporting badaddr(). False negatives appear to occur
approximately 1.8 percent of the time, although neither false positives
nor consecutive false negatives occur. We take advantage of the latter
property and always use a wrapper that makes multiple checks.
My IP12 no longer sees occasional ghost devices and related panics during
boot.
- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).

- complete workqueue(9) and fix its ipl problem, which is reported
to cause audio skipping.
- fix netbt (at least compilation problems) for some ports.
- fix PR/33218.
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.

To avoid clashes with a build-host's header files, especially on
*BSD, the host-tools versions of fdisk and disklabel search for
#includes such as disklabel.h, disklabel_acorn.h, disklabel_gpt.h,
and bootinfo.h in a new #includes namespace, nbinclude/. That is,
they #include <nbinclude/sys/disklabel.h>, <nbinclude/machine/disklabel.h>,
<nbinclude/sparc64/disklabel.h>, instead of <sys/disklabel.h> and
such. I have also updated the system headers to #include from
nbinclude/-space when HAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H is #defined.
to select the maximum segment size for each bus_dmamap_load (up to the maxsegsz
supplied to bus_dmamap_create). dm_maxsegsz is reset to the value supplied to
bus_dmamap_create when the dmamap is unloaded.
