(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.
kernels, at the same time getting rid of up to 3 conditional branches and a
bit over one cacheline fetch (for the 68060; the saving is a bit smaller for
040 and yet smaller for the 020/30).
While we're here, also get rid of an redundant lea (using SP-relative
addressing) and of two redundant pushes.
While we're here, also fix a panic which would tear us down on 68060 machines
if a branch prediction error ever occured.
disconnect from the BIOS
2) when text segment as claimed by BIOS is out of sensible range, punt
completely rather than trying to shrink it to fit the ISA hole. Some
BIOSes would crash with the previous behavior. Some won't have a
working APM with the new behavior, but their BIOSes are broken.

useful for booting from floppy. From Jason R. Thorpe <thorpej@nas.nasa.gov>,

compliation without DEBUG and/or DIAGNOSTIC happens without errors.
Note that all such initializations in the Alpha port are marked with "XXX
gcc -Wuninitialized". As far as I'm concerned, the one or two times
-Wuninitialized has saved me from problems are worth the (very minor) cost
involved with the initializations, esp. if it's noted why the
initializations are done. This was prompted by PR#3690, from Ted Lemon.
all interrupts which might cause re-entrancy.
Allow virtual addresses which are not managed by the MI VM system to
participate in the PV system.
Remove a few frivoulous TLB cache flushes.
<horimoto@cs-aoi.cs.sist.ac.jp> in PR #3641. I changed the code slightly.
Instead of clearing 13 registers (d1-d7,a1-a6) and zeroing 512 bytes per
loop iteration, I clear 8 registers (d1-d7,a1) and zero 256 bytes. This
reduces the size and complexity of the function.
On the '020, the simpler code is less than 1% slower. Surprisingly, it
is ~3% faster on the '040.
