Major change is that page table page management has been completely
rewritten. Page tables are now accessed via K0SEG (no more KVA space
wasted on user page tables), and a much larger user address space is
supported.
Many thanks to Chris Demetriou and Ross Harvey for helpful insight and
debugging assistance.
- Make pv_table an array of struct pv_head's, which contain LIST_HEADs
for the pv_entry's, as well as page attributes (mod, ref, ptpage).
- Use <sys/queue.h> to manipulate pv_entry lists.
- Fix several obvious bugs in pmap_collect_pv().
- Use K0SEG to access pv_page's.
- Clean up pmap_bootstrap() some, and make a slight change to how the
PROM mappings are saved.
- Give each pmap its own level 1 page table, rather than sharing a global
level 1 page table. This will eventually allow for Very Large user
address spaces.
- Keep a list of all pmaps, so that when kernel level 2 page tables are
allocated, all level 1 tables may be updated.
- Add a couple of functions for allocating and freeing page table pages.
- Add a few comments about ASN allocation.
These changes also recover memory that is located before the kernel in
the first system software segment on systems which do not use the PROM
for console I/O. Written by Chris Demetriou and myself.
knowledge) earlier, and gather all information needed earlier. Mark the
init code carefully re: when it can print stuff out, when it can expect
the firmware to stop working, etc. Be more careful about using the PROM
console and other PROM facilities, and hint that in the future all use
of firmware/boot program callbacks by the kernel should go away (since
the world may not be mapped the way the firmware/boot program wants!).
- Attempt to find the model string in the HWRPB's DSR area. Failing that
(if the HWRPB version is too old)...
- Look up the system variation in a variation/string table. Failing that
(unknown variation)...
- Create a default model string using the variation number.
Also, factor out a bunch of common code.

bootinfo handing so that it always uses bootinfo to get bootinfo-ish values
(filling them in if the boot blocks didn't pass them), and make versioning
a small bit more sane.

Use the defopt'ed options, rather than NDEC_... and remove the needs-flag
hack that's existed for a while.
- 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.

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.

though old 'dmesg' binaries will output a few bytes of junk at the start of

instructions will be used to implement non-swizzle bus access functions
on newer systems, such as the new AlphaStation 500s with EV56 and 21172

Also, put the cpu_decl()s in cpuconf.h, so that platform support files
can pull in the prototypes from there, and pull in options for those
systems for which there is code in the source tree.
at least 8-). Add structure offssets for structure members, so we
know how much space we're using. Make the version in the bootinfo
structure be a u_long, so there's no implicit padding in the structure.
Add a few more pointers to the bootinfo v1 structure, which will all
be set to NULL for now.
was sent to developers, but will eventually become a man page or
something), i noticed a few in various names:
(1) _map and _alloc should take a flags argument, rather than a
'cacheable' boolean.
(2) BUS_BARRIER_* flags should be BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_*.
(3) bus_space_copy_* should be bus_space_copy_region_* for consistency
with other region ops.
Fix all of these (in a backward-compatible way, at least for now). Redefine
internal usees of those names to use the new names. Also, while at it,
clean up the copy functions (remove unnecessary variables) and make sure
that they and other functions conform to the spec.
(1) it was using 'max', and some functions use a variable
of that name (*sigh*), and
(2) that makes it easier to be a bit trickier, and only call
swpipl if changing the IPL.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
