On armv4 these are defined as synonyms right now, but it's a bit ambiguous
what NOCACHE means (is buffering/write-combining also enabled or not?); this
is a first step towards replacing PTE_NOCACHE with a less ambiguous name.
and the functionality it provided into arm/exception.S. Rename the main
irq handling routine from arm_handler_execute() to arm_irq_handler() to
make it more congruent with how other exception handlers are named, and
also update its signature to reflect what has long been reality: it is
passed just a trapframe pointer, no interrupt number argument.
to the actual handler routine. All the pointers are static-intialized to
the only handlers available, and yet various platform-specific inits still

to drain the swamp by removing all the redundant external declarations and
runtime setting of the pointers that's scattered around various places.
communicate the kernel's physical load address from where it's known in
initarm() into cpu_mp_start() which is called from non-arm code and
takes no parameters.
This adds the global variable and ensures that all the various copies
of initarm() set it. It uses the variable in cpu_mp_start(), eliminating
the last uses of KERNPHYSADDR outside of locore.S (where we can now
calculate it instead of relying on the constant).
a new physmem.c file. The new code provides helper routines that can be
used by legacy SoCs and newer FDT-based systems. There are routines to
add one or more regions of physically contiguous ram, and exclude one or
more physically contiguous regions of ram. Ram can be excluded from crash
dumps, from being given over to the vm system for allocation management,
or both. After all the included and excluded regions have been added,
arm_physmem_init_kernel_globals() processes the regions into the global
dump_avail and phys_avail arrays and realmem and physmem variables that
communicate memory configuration to the rest of the kernel.
Convert all existing SoCs to use the new helper code.
console, it calls the grab functions. These functions should turn off
the RX interrupts, and any others that interfere. This makes mountroot
prompt work again. If there's more generalized need other than
prompting, many of these routines should be expanded to do those new
things.

uart(4) allocates send and receiver buffers in attach() before it calls
the low-level driver's attach routine. Many low-level drivers set the
fifo sizes in their attach routine, which is too late. Other drivers set
them in the probe() routine, so that they're available when uart(4)
allocates buffers. This fixes the ones that were setting the values too
late by moving the code to probe().
On single core devices set_stackptrs is only ever called with cpu = 0 in
initarm and will be identical to the existing function. On SMP this needs
to be implemented for sys/arm/mp_machdep.c, but the implementations are
identical for each SoC.

- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver

the boot arguments and converts them to the /boot/loader metadata the
rest of the kernel uses. parse_boot_param is a weak alias to
fake_preload_metadata, which all the platforms use now, but may become
more extensive in the future.
Since it is a weak symbol, specific boards may define their own
parse_boot_param to interface to custom boot loaders.

The device virtual addresses are now able to be allocated at runtime rather
than from the static pmap_devmap at boot. The only exception is memory
required before we have had a chance to dynamically allocate it.
While here reduce the space between the statically allocated devices by
reducing the distance between the virtual addresses.
