Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

255108f385 Make sysv-style shared memory tuneable params fully runtime adjustable
via sysctl.  It's done pretty simply but it should be quite adequate.
Also move SHMMAXPGS from $machine/include/vmparam.h as the comments that
went with it were wrong... we don't allocate KVM space for the pages so
that comment is bogus..  The only practical limit is how much physical
ram you want to lock up as this stuff isn't paged out or swap backed.

9c0fed3dcf Various changes to support OSF1 emulation:
* Move the user stack from VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS to a place below the 32bit
  boundary (needed to support 32bit OSF programs).  This should also save
  one pagetable per process.
* Add cvtqlsv to the set of instructions handled by the floating point
  software completion code.
* Disable all floating point exceptions by default.
* A minor change to execve to allow the OSF1 image activator to support
  dynamic loading.

99d11cde56 Major changes to the generic device framework for FreeBSD/alpha:
* Eliminate bus_t and make it possible for all devices to have
  attached children.

* Support dynamically extendable interfaces for drivers to replace
  both the function pointers in driver_t and bus_ops_t (which has been
  removed entirely.  Two system defined interfaces have been defined,
  'device' which is mandatory for all devices and 'bus' which is
  recommended for all devices which support attached children.

* In addition, the alpha port defines two simple interfaces 'clock'
  for attaching various real time clocks to the system and 'mcclock'
  for the many different variations of mc146818 clocks which can be
  attached to different alpha platforms.  This eliminates two more
  function pointer tables in favour of the generic method dispatch
  system provided by the device framework.

Future device interfaces may include:

* cdev and bdev interfaces for devfs to use in replacement for specfs
  and the fixed interfaces bdevsw and cdevsw.

* scsi interface to replace struct scsi_adapter (not sure how this
  works in CAM but I imagine there is something similar there).

* various tailored interfaces for different bus types such as pci,
  isa, pccard etc.

897cd717a5 Add initial support for the FreeBSD/alpha kernel. This is very much a
work in progress and has never booted a real machine.  Initial
development and testing was done using SimOS (see
http://simos.stanford.edu for details).  On the SimOS simulator, this
port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).

Obtained from: partly from NetBSD/alpha

74712ec974 Import NetBSD/Alpha headers needed to get the FreeBSD userland to compile
(and even run). These files don't necessarily make sense for a
FreeBSD/Alpha kernel build. That will come later and these files
will be changed accordingly.
