correctly for the data contained on each memory page.
There are several components to this change:
* Add a variable to indicate the start of the R/W portion of the
initial memory.
* Stop detecting NX bit support for each AP. Instead, use the value
from the BSP and, if supported, activate the feature on the other
APs just before loading the correct page table. (Functionally, we
already assume that the BSP and all APs had the same support or
lack of support for the NX bit.)
* Set the RW and NX bits correctly for the kernel text, data, and
BSS (subject to some caveats below).
* Ensure DDB can write to memory when necessary (such as to set a
breakpoint).
* Ensure GDB can write to memory when necessary (such as to set a
breakpoint). For this purpose, add new MD functions gdb_begin_write()
and gdb_end_write() which the GDB support code can call before and
after writing to memory.
This change is not comprehensive:
* It doesn't do anything to protect modules.
* It doesn't do anything for kernel memory allocated after the kernel
starts running.
* In order to avoid excessive memory inefficiency, it may let multiple
types of data share a 2M page, and assigns the most permissions
needed for data on that page.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
mips32r2 and mips64r2 (and close relatives) processors. There
presently is support for ADMtek ADM5120, A mips 4Kc in a malta board,
the RB533 routerboard (based on IDT RC32434) and some preliminary
support for sibtye/broadcom designs. Other hardware support will be
forthcomcing.
This port boots multiuser under gxemul emulating the malta board and
also bootstraps on the hardware whose support is forthcoming...
Oleksandr Tymoshenko, Wojciech Koszek, Warner Losh, Olivier Houchard,
Randall Stewert and others that have contributed to the mips2 and/or
mips2-jnpr perforce branches. Juniper contirbuted a generic mips port
late in the life cycle of the misp2 branch. Warner Losh merged the
mips2 and Juniper code bases, and others list above have worked for
the past several months to get to multiuser.
In addition, the mips2 work owe a debt to the trail blazing efforts of
the original mips branch in perforce done by Juli Mallett.
