There were some side-effects that I didn't anticipate, and fixing them
is proving to be more difficult than I thought, do just eject for now.
Maybe one day we can look at this again.
Fixes PR kern/21517.
space is advertised to UVM by making virtual_avail and virtual_end
first-class exported variables by UVM. Machine-dependent code is
responsible for initializing them before main() is called. Anything
that steals KVA must adjust these variables accordingly.
This reduces the number of instances of this info from 3 to 1, and
simplifies the pmap(9) interface by removing the pmap_virtual_space()
function call, and removing two arguments from pmap_steal_memory().
This also eliminates some kludges such as having to burn kernel_map
entries on space used by the kernel and stolen KVA.
This also eliminates use of VM_{MIN,MAX}_KERNEL_ADDRESS from MI code,
this giving MD code greater flexibility over the bounds of the managed
kernel virtual address space if a given port's specific platforms can
vary in this regard (this is especially true of the evb* ports).
- 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.
common across many of the 4xx parts. Leaves ibm405gp.h with device
address information specific to the 405GP CPU. Now allows opb.c to
support multiple 4xx CPU types.
documentation:
- Remove "mainbus" altogether.
- The new root is "plb" - the Processor Local Bus.
- Attached to this is the "opb" - the On-chip Peripheral Bus, to which
all the on-chip devices are attached (except the cpu and pci host
bridge).
- Port-specific code can pass an array of 'struct plb_dev' to
config_rootfound() to attach extra devices to the plb. The walnut
port attaches a "pbus" (Peripheral Bus) in here for the RTC and
pc keyboard controller to attach to.
There is still much 405GP specific code; the next round of changes will
generalise this to enable easier support for other 4xx CPUs.
MAC (emac). Much thanks to Jason Thorpe for debugging help writing this
driver. Tested on the walnut, and an earlier version of this driver works
on the OpenBlockSS.
