* Move some of the memory bootstrapping and the DDB startup earlier.
* Always put the IDT and the initial GDT and LDT in a separate page.
* Various minor changes.
written by chuck cranor. thanks to mycroft for helping me find the
one little line of code i accidentally deleted while merging it.
this is not enabled by default. `options MACHINE_NEW_NONCONTIG'
will use this code. eventually, this should go into <machine/vmparam.h>
insteaed of MACHINE_NONCONTIG.
"struct cpu_cpuid_family", so that we can have a cpu_setup function per
known cpu type. For now use it only for cyrix 6x86 to enable suspend-on-halt
and implement cyrix's workaround to the "coma bug".
* Call gdt_init() earlier on.
* Don't bother to check for TSS and LDT descriptors in verr_gdt().
* Nuke the sti special case for trace and breakpoint traps.
* Move some variable declarations into more appropriate locations.
- fix _C_LABEL so that it actually works.
- make __RENAME use _C_LABEL.
- fix __RENAME so that it expects an unquoted argument.
- fix __indr_reference and __warn_references so that they
supply their own final semicolon.
- define __warn_references to nothing if not GNU C (required
by the way it's used).
The __warn_references semicolon change has to be made
so that __warn_references can be defined into nothing.
(A ; all by itself isn't a great idea.) The __indr_reference
change was made for consistency.
finish up incomplete job of moving structure used by bioscall() to
<machine/bioscall.h>, with associated changes in include file strategy,
genassym stuff, etc.
Only assembly version for i386 bswap16 and bswap32 for now (bswap64 uses
bswap32). Contribution of assembly versions of these are welcome.
Add byte-swapping of ext2fs metadata for big-endian systems.
Tested on i386 and sparc.
msgbuf. Note that old 'dmesg' and 'syslogd' binaries will continue running,
though old 'dmesg' binaries will output a few bytes of junk at the start of
the buffer, and will miss a few bytes at the end of the buffer.
