* Rip out MACHINE_CPU stuff from sys.mk and include a new <bsd.cpu.mk>
after we pull in /etc/make.conf. We need to do it afterwards so we can
react to the user setting of the:
* CPUTYPE variable, which contains the CPU type which the user wants to
optimize for. For example, if you want your binaries to only run on an
i686-class machine (or higher), set this to i686. If you want to support
running binaries on a variety of CPU generations, set this to the lowest
common denominator. Supported values are listed in make.conf.
* bsd.cpu.mk does the expansion of CPUTYPE into MACHINE_CPU using the
(hopefully) correct unordered list of CPU types which should be used on
that CPU. For example, an AMD k6 CPU wants any of the following:
k6 k5 i586 i486 i386
This is still an unordered list so the client makefile logic is simple -
client makefiles need to test for the various elements of the set in
decreasing order of priority using ${MACHINE_CPU:M<foo>}, as before.
The various MACHINE_CPU lists are believed to be correct, but should be
checked.
* If NO_CPU_CFLAGS is not defined, add relevant gcc compiler optimization
settings by default (e.g. -karch=k6 for CPUTYPE=k6, etc). Release
builders and developers of third-party software need to make sure not to
enable CPU-specific optimization when generating code intended to be
portable. We probably need to move to an /etc/world.conf to allow the
optimization stuff to be applied separately to world/kernel and external
compilations, but it's not any worse a problem than it was before.
* Add coverage for the ia64/itanium MACHINE_ARCH/CPUTYPE.
* Add CPUTYPE support for all of the CPU types supported by FreeBSD and gcc
(only i386, alpha and ia64 first, since those are the minimally-working
ports. Other architecture porters, please feel free to add the relevant
gunk for your platform).

through the use of a new build directive, MACHINE_CPU, which contains a
list of the CPU generations/features for which optimizations are desired.
This feature will be extended to cover the ports tree in the future.
Currently OpenSSL provides optimizations for i386, i586 and i686-class
CPUs. Currently it has not been tested on an i386 or i486.
Teach make(1) to provide sensible defaults for MACHINE_CPU if it is not
defined (namely, the lowest common denominator CPU we support for each
architecture). Currently this is i386 for the i386 architecture and ev4
for the alpha. sys.mk also sets the variable as a last resort for
consistency with MACHINE_ARCH and bootstrapping from very old versions of
make.
Benchmarks show a significant speed increase even in the i386 case, with
additional improvements for i586 and i686 systems. For maximum performance
define MACHINE_CPU=i686 i586 i386 in /etc/make.conf.

I have added support for finding non-PNP devices to this
sample loadable ISA driver.
PCI support will come later.
If someone with a clue about newbus were to look it over it would be
really cool.
This creates a skeleton ISA device driver.
I don't pretend that it's fully correct or even opitimal
but it at least creates (and compiles) a 'clean' ISA driver.
Hopefully PCI/PCCARD/etc. support will be added when I understand it.
Unlike the old version this just creates a module. The old one tried to
create a new kernel with the driver to be tested.

NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.
This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.
Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.
See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.
Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.

#BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x3F8

From what I can make out, some people have assumed that means that if
they just uncomment the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT then it will use COM2:
These same people then assume that "0x3F8" on that line is a typo for
"0x3E8".
What it actually means is that if you uncomment the line then the default
stays as "Ox3F8" (COM1:), and that you have to uncomment the line, *and*
change the value of the variable in order to use COM2:.
So I've made that a little bit clearer. I've also listed the hex values
for COM1: thru COM4:, snarfed from sys/isa/isareg.h.
