<sys/bootblock.h>:
* Added definitions for the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by
a variety of systems (primarily i386), including the format
of the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB).
This information was cribbed from a variety of sources
including <sys/disklabel_mbr.h> which this is a superset of.
As part of this, some data structure elements and #defines
were renamed to be more "namespace friendly" and consistent
with other bootblocks and MBR documentation.
Update all uses of the old names to the new names.
<sys/disklabel_mbr.h>:
* Deprecated in favor of <sys/bootblock.h> (the latter is more
"host tool" friendly).
amd64 & i386:
* Renamed /usr/mdec/bootxx_dosfs to /usr/mdec/bootxx_msdos, to
be consistent with the naming convention of the msdosfs tools.
* Removed /usr/mdec/bootxx_ufs, as it's equivalent to bootxx_ffsv1
and it's confusing to have two functionally equivalent bootblocks,
especially given that "ufs" has multiple meanings (it could be
a synonym for "ffs", or the group of ffs/lfs/ext2fs file systems).
* Rework pbr.S (the first sector of bootxx_*):
+ Ensure that BPB (bytes 11..89) and the partition table
(bytes 446..509) do not contain code.
+ Add support for booting from FAT partitions if BOOT_FROM_FAT
is defined. (Only set for bootxx_msdos).
+ Remove "dummy" partition 3; if people want to installboot(8)
these to the start of the disk they can use fdisk(8) to
create a real MBR partition table...
+ Compile with TERSE_ERROR so it fits because of the above.
Whilst this is less user friendly, I feel it's important
to have a valid partition table and BPB in the MBR/PBR.
* Renamed /usr/mdec/biosboot to /usr/mdec/boot, to be consistent
with other platforms.
* Enable SUPPORT_DOSFS in /usr/mdec/boot (stage2), so that
we can boot off FAT partitions.
* Crank version of /usr/mdec/boot to 3.1, and fix some of the other
entries in the version file.
installboot(8) (i386):
* Read the existing MBR of the filesystem and retain the BIOS
Parameter Block (BPB) in bytes 11..89 and the MBR partition
table in bytes 446..509. (Previously installboot(8) would
trash those two sections of the MBR.)
mbrlabel(8):
* Use sys/lib/libkern/xlat_mbr_fstype.c instead of homegrown code
to map the MBR partition type to the NetBSD disklabel type.
Test built "make release" for i386, and new bootblocks verified to work
(even off FAT!).
which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments

enabled on amd64). Add a dmat64 field to various PCI attach structures,
and pass it down where needed. Implement a simple new function called
pci_dma64_available(pa) to test if 64bit DMA addresses may be used.
This returns 1 iff _PCI_HAVE_DMA64 is defined in <machine/pci_machdep.h>,
and there is more than 4G of memory.
isa_dmamap_create() calls to their open/close entrypoints. This worked
with some luck, but broke on i386 when _bus_dmamap_create started
to allocate bounce buffers upfront, since memory below 16M may well
not be available when the sound devices is opened for the Nth time.
To fix this, create a new simple interface, isa_drq_alloc/isa_drq_free,
wrappers around already existing bitmask macros. These are expected
to be used before an isa_dmamap_create call, and after an
isa_dmamap_destroy call, respectively. For the sb and ad1848 drivers,
they're deferred until open/close.
All isa_dmamap_create calls can now use BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW and be done
at attach time.

a pointer to current cpu's cpu_info structure. Use cpu_info for
intstk,intr_depth,still_stk,idle_pcb,curpcb,curlwp,etal even on
non-MULTIPROCESSOR machines. Add common macros GET_CPUINFO and
INIT_CPUINFO to get and initialize the cpu_info struct on startup. Make
ibm4xx use the standard <powerpc/frame.h>. Use IFRAME_xx in ibm4xx

to std.<platform>. Change faultbuf to a struct instead of an array.
On MPC6XX cpus, stop using the vector page for temporary space and use
reserved space in cpu_info.
cd ${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile && ${PRINTOBJDIR}
This is far simpler than the previous system, and more robust with
objdirs built via BSDOBJDIR.
The previous method of finding KERNOBJDIR when using BSDOBJDIR by
referencing _SRC_TOP_OBJ_ from another directory was extremely
fragile due to the depth first tree walk by <bsd.subdir.mk>, and
the caching of _SRC_TOP_OBJ_ (with MAKEOVERRIDES) which would be
empty on the *first* pass to create fresh objdirs.
This change requires adding sys/arch/*/compile/Makefile to create
the objdir in that directory, and descending into arch/*/compile
from arch/*/Makefile. Remove the now-unnecessary .keep_me files
whilst here.
Per lengthy discussion with Andrew Brown.
