Open Firmware-centric:
- Keep the static list of regions in platform.c instead of ofw_machdep.c
- Move various merging and sorting operations to platform.c as well
- Move apple_hacks code out of ofw_machdep.c and into platform_powermac.c,
where it belongs
- Move CHRP-specific dynamic-reconfiguration memory parsing into
platform_chrp.c instead of pretending it is shared code
When CPU becomes idle, cpu_idleclock() calculates time to the next timer
event in order to reprogram hw timer. Return that time in sbintime_t to
the caller and pass it to acpi_cpu_idle(), where it can be used as one
more factor (quite precise) to extimate furter sleep time and choose
optimal sleep state. This is a preparatory change for further callout
improvements will be committed in the next days.
The commmit is not targeted for MFC.
available on firmwares 3.15 and earlier.
Caveats: Support for the internal SATA controller is currently missing,
as is support for framebuffer resolutions other than 720x480. These
deficiencies will be remedied soon.
Special thanks to Peter Grehan for providing the hardware that made this
port possible, and thanks to Geoff Levand of Sony Computer Entertainment
for advice on the LV1 hypervisor.
