are machine dependent because they are not required to update the tlb when
mappings are added or removed, and doing so is machine dependent.
In addition, an implementation may require that pages mapped with pmap_kenter
have a backing vm_page_t, which is not necessarily true of all physical
pages, and so may choose to pass the vm_page_t to pmap_kenter instead of the
physical address in order to make this requirement clear.
i386/ia64/alpha - catch up to sparc64/ppc:
- replace pmap_kernel() with refs to kernel_pmap
- change kernel_pmap pointer to (&kernel_pmap_store)
(this is a speedup since ld can set these at compile/link time)
all platforms (as suggested by jake):
- gc unused pmap_reference
- gc unused pmap_destroy
- gc unused struct pmap.pm_count
(we never used pm_count - we track address space sharing at the vmspace)
boot sequence.
The new pmap.c is based on NetBSD's newer pmap.c (for the mpc6xx processors)
which is 70% faster than the older code that the original pmap.c was based
on. It has also been based on the framework established by jake's initial
sparc64 pmap.c.
There is no change to how far the kernel gets (it makes it to the mountroot
prompt in psim) but the new pmap code is a lot cleaner.
