BIOS-bug-avoidance [fixes part of my own port-i386/11299], and (2) lets you
have APM and COMPAT_MACHO in the kernel at the same time. Also comments on
the special 8th entry and what else changing some of these values affects.
OK'ed by Frank.
is what Solaris8 calls it
implement SVR4_TRAP_GETHRESTIME, though obviously only with microsecond accuracy
now clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, tp) works on Solaris8/i386
of a range which is protected by spl/splx. Originally proposed by
YAMAMOTO Takashi (yamt@netbsd.org) on tech-kern. This change mirrors
the one done by Bill Sommerfeld on the i386 mp branch.
(__HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP) and procfs (__HAVE_PROCFS_MACHDEP).
These changes will allow platforms like x86 (XMM) and PowerPC
(AltiVec) to export extended register sets in a sane manner.
* Use __HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers (standard
FP + SSE/SSE2) using PT_{GET,SET}XMMREGS (in the machdep
ptrace request space).
* Use __HAVE_PROCFS_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers via
/proc/N/xmmregs in procfs.
* add flag to explicitly specify if the DMA should be done as 16bit or 8bit
* add flag to specify the DMA should happen via I/O port
* add new function mca_dma_set_ioport(), to set I/O port to be used for the
DMA operation
Also clarify copyright (welcome to 2001 :), and couple other minor nits
%fs/%gs as appropriate.
XXX Note that the new sigcontext uses the new sigset_t instead of old
int sc_mask. The new FreeBSD sigcontext doesn't contain any backward
compatibility sc_mask, so basically old FreeBSD application making
use of sigcontext are hosed. This can't be fixed in NetBSD compat code.
amount of kvm used for buffers was set at 70%, some 188M. Then
the total amount of kvm became 1G, and the amount for buffers
thus became some 716M. This is really too much, and some
device drivers want to map quite a bit of kvm these days.
So, cap it at 384M, which gives each buffer a little over 8k (the
default FFS blocksize) physical in an 1G physram configuration.
This will allow improvements to the pmaps so that they can more easily defer expensive operations, eg tlb/cache flush, til the last possible moment.
Currently this is a no-op on most platforms, so they should see no difference.

APM_IOC_GETPOWER ioctl read/write. Setting the batteryid in the passed
structure returns the data for just that battery. The old ioctl
remains for binary compatibility but has been renamed.
Itojun already did the hard work -- I just added a couple of lines.

- If we detect SSE/SSE2 support in the CPU, enable SSE exceptions
and set i386_has_{sse,sse2} as appropriate.
- Expose i386_use_fxsave and i386_has_{sse,sse2} through sysctl
as machdep.{osfsxr,sse,sse2}.
