Uses PROM standalone I/O functions but due to the lack of a lseek function
it currently only works with version 5.40 of the firmware. A more portable
solution is being worked on.
installboot utility requires several changes in order to correctly install
the bootstrap code - there is a "volume directory" which contains a list
of filenames, start sectors and length. We need to add a "boot" entry of
the correct length starting at block 2. The boot file has to be ecoff
which means we waste another 0.5k
Normally the Mips filesystem has a ~500k partition for this purpose but it
should be possible to squeeze it all into the first 7k "BSD Style" (1k is
required for 2 different copies of the partition table)
Only the bootxx_ffs first stage bootstrap has been tested via bootp() which
loads the second stage off disk and then boots the kernel.

turning off EXL bit.

and data cache sizes). R4000 uses 2^(12+IC) and 2^(12+DC). IDT32364

abstract around the problem by making the base a parameter to the
MIPS3_CONFIG_CACHE_SIZE macro. we pass the base down from mips_vector_init
to mips3_vector_init and to mips3_ConfigCache (where it is used).

This would be another MULTIPROCESSOR unfriendly and the necessity

Now that this is fixed, don't map the kernel text read-write if

Currently, the major onboard devices are supported (disk, network,
rs232 and VMEbus). However, work is still need to support the remaining
devices (eg. IndustryPack sites).
These boards are available with a dazzling array of build options. At
this time, the following options are *required*:
o Real floating point hardware (the 68LC040 model isn't tested),
o The VMEchip2 must be present,
o If offboard VMEbus RAM is not present, at least 8MB of onboard
RAM is required.
o Even if offboard VMEbus RAM *is* present, at least 4MB of onboard
RAM is required. (Boards with 1 or 2MB onboard RAM *can* be
supported with offboard RAM, but not without some funky values in
the VMEbus Master mapping registers.)
There is no support for boards other than those in the -LX 200/300 series.
Give rest of clock interrupt code a revamp. Because we are using an external
cycle counter we can now handle loosing several hundred interrupts without
the time slipping.
- Return FALSE if the PTE does not have PG_V set (previously, you would
get always get true of the PDE was valid, even if the PTE was not).
- Teach it about 4MB pages.
* For MIPS RISC/os based diskl labels create partition 8 which is used
by sash (and where bootstrap code hides).
* If existing MIPS RISC/os label is present update disk parameter information
issueing a 'DIOCGPART' at every read. Avoid re-reading the label at
every format-verify (or read/write on the block-device) by fetching the label
at open-time and caching it until we close.

If the machine uses a Z85230 ESCC device with deep buffers, we observe
output glitches when printing the zstty{0,1} probe lines when the device
is reset & reprogrammed during startup.
There is no easy 'hook' in the MI Z8530 driver, so we wait for output
buffer to drain before changing the baud rate generator prescaler value.

If the DMA chaning interrupt couldn't be serviced immediately (higher spl
level when kernel doing something else) a few microseconds later the NCR
controller will fill its FIFO and also interrupt the CPU.
The SCSI interrupt sees the terminal count has been reached, calls
asc_dma_intr to finish the job off. The FIFO cannot be flushed because
the block count hasn't been setup for the last dma segment (DMA chaining
still wasn't serviced).
Since the NCR 53c94 FIFO is only 16 bytes in size, any short DMA in this
size combined with the machine 'doing something else' causes the problem
to occur.
Servicing the DMA chaining interrupt before the NCR SCSI interrupt solves
this problem.
Add tests to ensure the DMA FIFO has been flushed correctly at the end of
each DMA operation just to be on the safe side.
never got the wired bit set. This caused panics if a swapped out process
was swapped in again and the kernel stack had not yet been unmapped.
While here, add a forgotten lock initializer.
locked, cpu_exit needs to do that too. Since in the lock debug case we
have to use a CALLS which wipes out R0-R6, change the convention for Swtch
so that the proc is passed in R6 and that R6 is clobbered. This is so
Swtch itself doesn't have to save/restore the proc pointer explicitly.

in fdformat().
(This eliminates 1/3 of the instances of PHOLD()/PRELE() in the kernel code.)
XXX We still have too many mostly-redundant floppy drivers.
All compatable values are copied from the MIPS volume header to the
BSD disklabel structures.
* Add support for writing Mips volume header.
* Remove support for writing NetBSD label directly (this was broken)
These changes allow the kernel to read either a BSD disklabel created under
NetBSD/sparc or a MIPS volume header created under RISC/os.
There is a small amount of losage with the conversion between the 2
types of disk labels (mainly to do with file system types).
A table is used to map partition numbers and types between the two
types, and unless someone does something real fancy (or crazy) it should
work in both senario's
This change will allow the stand alone shell to directly load a NetBSD
kernel and mount a file system, avoiding the need for a seperate disk or
bootp server to bootstrapping NetBSD.
NetBSD/mipsco is now self sufficiant. We are not far from having a
miniroot filesystem and removing the need to have another NetBSD
machine to create the base filesystems.
Minor Trap for young players:
The root partition must be created with 'newfs -O' in order for the
stand alone shell to boot the kernel
TODO:
Add support for writing NetBSD disk labels back in - it will be useful
for non boot disks. I'm just not sure how to control the 2 behavours
treated as just another available VMEbus slave image as far as
bus_dma(9) is concerned.
To preserve faster onboard memory, mvmebus_dmamem_alloc() will
allocate first from the offboard VMEbus RAM slave image if present,
and assuming its address modifier matches the caller's constraints.
This can be overidden by specifying the BUS_DMA_ONBOARD_RAM flag.

This is still a work in progress, but seems to DTRT on mvme167 so far.
TODO:
. Get VMEbus slave mode going on mvme147. This should be easy.
. Fix up the A16 slave mappings.
. Bounce buffer support. (Messy, but pretty much a `must have'.)
. Figure out how to deal with `location monitor' interrupts
within the framework. (Useful for Busnet, among other things.)
. It would be nice to make use of the VMEchip2's DMA facilities...

What we haven't got:
- FDC support (found, but not configured).
- Clearing lpt interrupts on arm26 systems (needs help from IOEB).
- A upc(4) manual page.
- More than minimal testing (my A3020s don't have root devices).
- A proper probe routine (arm26 can't use one anyway).
