maintainers.
After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.
With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.
Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.
*
* For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries
* using our old method. This is so people can still use kernel.old
* with a new world. This support will be removed before 5.0-RELEASE,
* and may not last anywhere upto the actual release. My expiration
* time for this is about 6mo.

Exceptions:
Vinum untouched. This means that it cannot be compiled.
Greg Lehey is on the case.
CCD not converted yet, casts to struct buf (still safe)
atapi-cd casts to struct buf to examine B_PHYS
non-device code.
* Re-implement the method dispatch to improve efficiency. The new system
takes about 40ns for a method dispatch on a 300Mhz PII which is only
10ns slower than a direct function call on the same hardware.
This changes the new-bus ABI slightly so make sure you re-compile any
driver modules which you use.

Move B_ORDERED flag to b_ioflags and call it BIO_ORDERED.
Move b_pblkno and b_iodone_chain to struct bio while we transition, they
will be obsoleted once bio structs chain/stack.
Add bio_queue field for struct bio aware disksort.
Address a lot of stylistic issues brought up by bde.
via sysctl. It's done pretty simply but it should be quite adequate.
Also move SHMMAXPGS from $machine/include/vmparam.h as the comments that
went with it were wrong... we don't allocate KVM space for the pages so
that comment is bogus.. The only practical limit is how much physical
ram you want to lock up as this stuff isn't paged out or swap backed.
syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the
buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for
the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size
calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better
comments, less chance of running out of KVA).
The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce.
This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but
it goes a long way

exactly one bit set.
B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.
Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.
Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.
This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

- Add driver configuration flags which correspond to the kernel

need to recompile the kernel when we need these functions.
- Properly keep track of the irq resource.
- Add a watchdog timer in case interrupts are lost (experimental).

well, there *could* be one in a DWLPX tray, but we don't support it)).
Most importantly change the interrupt resource map to cover a whole 16
bits. The 8200 uses 16 bit interrupt vectors which we construct that
contain the I/O-board, hose, an pci slot in them, and then we write these
vectors into the appropriate DWLPX registers. At any rate, a flat array
of 64 'IRQs' isn't enough.
