and IEEE S and T floating datum loads and stores. VAX floating data
types not yet supported, and in the future will only be supported if
FIX_UNALIGNED_VAX_FP is defined. (No point in wasting the space when
most of the time there will never be VAX FP loads and stores.) Right
now, these features can be controlled only by sysctl. The (boolean)
integer sysctls machdep.unaligned_print, machdep.unaligned_fix, and
machdep.unaligned_sigbus control printing about unaligned accesses
(defaults on), fixing up of unaligned accesses (defaults on), and
forcing a SIGBUS on unaligned accesses (defaults off). If an access
is not fixed up (for lack of method or explicit decision), a SIGBUS is
always generated to keep programs from using bogus data. At some point,
these three choices should be controlled by per-process flags, as well.
more naturally in terms of way the OSF/1 PALcode delivers traps and
interrupts. Clean up fault/exception handling code and system entry
points. Seperate ASTs into a seperate C function.
(2) Restructure and improve machine check and correctable error
handling based on information in the 2nd Ed. of the Alpha Architecture
Reference Manual.
(3) Removed unused (and not likely useful) PALcode assembly stubs.

containing a substruct (the hardware frame) and an array of registers,
treat it like one big array of registers, for easier and prettier
access. Update everything to deal with that.

clean up some, and add prototypes for all of the CPU instruction and

alpha_cpu.h, and this file is no longer necessary for the
Alpha. However, some machine-independent code (e.g.
/sys/compat/common/kern_exit_43.c) still wants a file with
this name to be around.
from the mach3 versions only as much as necessary to allow the old
NetBSD/Alpha pmap code to compile. THESE WILL NOT WORK AS-IS, and at
minimum will require code to implement reference- and modified-bit
emulation.
This is a bit of a hack, as-is, since there's a lot of code that's
outright duplicated between the various files and because it doesn't
support detection of a network device as the root device. The
latter's not a problem yet, because NetBSD/Alpha can't load the kernel
from the network to begin with.
common back-ends that live on multiple very-different busses (e.g. PCI and
TC), which need bus-specific DMA mapping support. As a nice side effect,
this will allow the especially nasty (vtophys(va) | 0x40000000) expressions
to go away in favor of less nasty bus-specific function calls.
documentation I have calls them, and update for new definitions in
sys/exec_ecoff.h. Also, fix ECOFF_SEGMENT_ALIGNMENT macro so that it
actually returns the right alignment.
reasons: it won't attach as console, and there's currently no way to do
keyboard input on TC machines), and has no real RAMDAC (colormap, cursor,
etc.) support. Digital UNIX does not support CFB frame buffers in the
Alpha, but they appear to work OK (with an appropriate monitor) in my
3000/300.
