which bustype should be attached with a specific call to config_found()
(from a "mainbus" or a bus bridge).
Do it for isa/eisa/mca and pci/agp for now. These buses all attach to
an mi interface attribute "isabus", "eisabus" etc., and the autoconf
framework now allows to specify an interface attribute on config_found()
and config_search(), which limits the search of matching config data
to these which attach to that specific attribute.
So we basically have to call config_found_ia(..., "foobus", ...) where
such a bus is attached.
As a consequence, where a "mainbus" or alike also attaches other
devices (eg CPUs) which do not attach to a specific attribute yet,
we need at least pass an attribute name (different from "foobus") so
that the foo bus is not found at these places. This made some minor
changes necessary which are not obviously related to the mentioned buses.
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
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.
- different set of device control registers.
- non-standard access to the time base.
- 16 byte cache lines.

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
trap_subr.S instead of explicit magic offsets. Move INTSTK and SPILLSTK
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.
The first board to be included here is the port to the 405GP-based
Walnut evaluation board, which up until now lived in arch/walnut.
arch/walnut will go away soon, once all the remaining walnut-isms
in the tree have been dealt with.
