a struct pmap be the same on both SMP and UP kernels.
It turns out that the size of a struct pmap is much larger on alpha
SMP systems due to the number of pm_asn's being dependant on MAX_CPU.
Since modules are supposed to be SMP agnostic, this has the affect of
moving around the "interesting bits" of the vmspace (daddr, dsize)
that the osf1 module wants to frob. So the module ends up scribbling in a
pmap struct, and the user either sees a panic, or an application failure.
While here, I've also shrunk MAXCPU to 8 now that it affects the size
of pmap structs on UP systesm. This should be plenty, as I'm
unware of any hardware we currently run in which supports more than 8
CPUs.
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

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.

X-MFC after: ha ha ha ha
Previously we had to include <machine/param.h> or <sys/param.h> bogusly
due to the fact that <sys/socket.h> CMSG macros needed the ALIGN macro,
which was defined in param.h. However, including param.h was a disaster
for namespace pollution.
This solution, as contributed by shin a while ago, fixes it elegantly
by wrapping the definitions around some namespace pollution preventer
definitions.
This patch was long overdue.
This should allow any network programmer to use <sys/socket.h> as
before.

consolidates some code that was starting to be duplicated in more

Use the new function in ldconfig.
Note: I don't think that gcc should use getobjformat(), even though
it could. The compiler should limit itself to functions that are
widespread, to ease porting and cross-compilation.
* Eliminate bus_t and make it possible for all devices to have

* 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.
