The following systems are involved:
- DB-88F5182
- DB-88F5281
- DB-88F6281
- DB-78100
- SheevaPlug
This overhaul covers the following major changes:
- All integrated peripherals drivers for Marvell ARM SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).
- Since the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) is used we say
good by to obio / mbus drivers and numerous hard-coded config data.
Note that world needs to be built WITH_FDT for the affected platforms.

the memory or D-cache, depending on the semantics of the platform.
vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve
the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys().
o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
hit the breakpoint.
o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).
The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent
*after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding
or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before*
any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.
DPCPU area was not properly mapped into kernel VA space, which caused page
fault on the first DPCPU access. This patch fixes the problem by mapping DPCPU
area into kernel VA space.

- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

- Allow for setting per platform MPP/GPIO configuration in the kernel, so
that we can override all settings firmware might set.
- Set decode windows for the remaining on-chip peripherals: CESA, SATA and XOR.
- Improve handling of USB controllers so that all port are available on the
given SOC/platform (e.g. up to three on DB-78xxx), this includes rework of
USB decode windows set-up.
- Other minor fixes and cosmetics.

The above families of SOCs are built around CPU cores compliant with ARMv5TE
instruction set architecture definition. They share a number of integrated
peripherals. This commit brings support for the following basic elements:
* GPIO
* Interrupt controller
* L1, L2 cache
* Timers, watchdog, RTC
* TWSI (I2C)
* UART
Other peripherals drivers will be introduced separately.
