$NetBSD: TODO,v 1.4 2000/01/23 21:01:48 soda Exp $
To do list (not in any particular order).
o Move the RO and WIRED attribute from the pte to the pv table.
This saves four instructions in the tlb miss handler.
o Boot. Standalone boot program instead of booting the kernel directly?
o sigsetjmp/siglongjmp missing....
o Add more videomodes to pccons driver. 50kHz and 64kHz monitors?
This seems to be hard. Need more info on the chip.
o Find out why bitmap load to S3-928 flashes screen.
Know why (enable linear mode). Need S3 info.
o Can we have 32 double registers?
o 64bit kernel/userland
o source code structure is quite obsolete,
general clean up is needed as nisimura-san suggested.
especially:
- introduce struct platform and remove ugly ``switch (cputype)''
in many places.
- implement and use bus_dma
- clean up bus_space implementation, remove inb/outb
- eliminate OpenBSD compat #define symbols
o fix kernel start address
o merge new wscons
o parse ARC BIOS configuration information and use it
o fix implementation of DELAY(), clean up clock implementation
o if_sn.c ether address handling clean up
o use MI driver
- use MI ncr53c9x driver instead of home grown asc
- use MI bha driver instead of home grown btl
- make sonic driver MI, and share it with mac68k, newsmips/apbus
- make fd driver MI, and share it with i386
(contact christos about MI fd driver)
- make pccons MI, and share it with i386,
or simply eliminate pccons
Lots of other things.....
