the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 4k. The only potential in-tree user left
unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4)
instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not
much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just
for the MII bitbang'ing code. The common MII bitbang'ing code also is
useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access.
- Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the
MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in
order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an

case anymore. For all other architectures there was only a "KEEP THIS".
I'm (and other people too) running a COMPAT_43-less kernel since it's not
necessary anymore for the linuxolator. Roman is running such a kernel for a
for longer time. No problems so far. And I doubt other (newer than ia32
or alpha) architectures really depend on it.
This may result in a small performance increase for some workloads.
If the removal of COMPAT_43 results in a not working program, please
recompile it and all dependencies and try again before reporting a
problem.
The only place where COMPAT_43 is needed (as in: does not compile without
it) is in the (outdated/not usable since too old) svr4 code.

workarounds for things skyeye doesn't simulate. Specifically :
- Use USART0 instead of DBGU as the console, make it not use DMA, and manually provoke an interrupt when we're done in the transmit function.
- Skyeye maintains an internal counter for clock, but apparently there's
no way to access it, so hack the timecounter code to return a value which
is increased at every clock interrupts. This is gross, but I didn't find a
better way to implement timecounters without hacking Skyeye to get the
counter value.
