33f1cb93f9 Implement inline assembler wrappers for PALcode calls and for alpha
specific instructions such as rpcc and mb. This should provide some
performance improvements and will allow me to delete the file pal.s.
To allow people time to update their loadable modules, I will leave pal.s
alone for now.

b7f762137a Implement fpsetmask() and other fp*() functions. Programs should use
#include <ieeefp.h>

to access these functions instead of the i386 specific

	#include <machine/floatingpoint.h>

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

7fed2e3a32 These are a few of the alpha machine dependent header files - the first
referenced by the build of user-space libraries. These files were
obtained from NetBSD (with ansi.h being modified to reflect the FreeBSD
off_t and pid_t implementation).
