obsolete. This involves the following pieces:
- Remove it entirely on PowerPC, where it is not used by MD code either
- Remove all references to machine/fdt.h in non-architecture-specific code
(aside from uart_cpu_fdt.c, shared by ARM and MIPS, and so is somewhat
non-arch-specific).
- Fix code relying on header pollution from machine/fdt.h includes
- Legacy fdtbus.c (still used on x86 FDT systems) now passes resource
requests to its parent (nexus). This allows x86 FDT devices to allocate
both memory and IO requests and removes the last notionally MI use of
fdtbus_bs_tag.
- On those architectures that retain a machine/fdt.h, unused bits like
FDT_MAP_IRQ and FDT_INTR_MAX have been removed.
1. Common headers for fdt.h and ofw_machdep.h under x86/include
with indirections under i386/include and amd64/include.
2. New modinfo for loader provided FDT blob.
3. Common x86_init_fdt() called from hammer_time() on amd64 and
init386() on i386.
4. Split-off FDT specific low-level console functions from FDT
bus methods for the uart(4) driver. The low-level console
logic has been moved to uart_cpu_fdt.c and is used for arm,
mips & powerpc only. The FDT bus methods are shared across
all architectures.
5. Add dev/fdt/fdt_x86.c to hold the fdt_fixup_table[] and the
fdt_pic_table[] arrays. Both are empty right now.
FDT addresses are I/O ports on x86. Since the core FDT code does
not handle different address spaces, adding support for both I/O
ports and memory addresses requires some thought and discussion.
It may be better to use a compile-time option that controls this.
