This makes our naming scheme more closely match other systems and the
expectations of much third-party software. MIPS builds which are little-endian
should require and exhibit no changes. Big-endian TARGET_ARCHes must be
changed:
From: To:
mipseb mips
mipsn32eb mipsn32
mips64eb mips64
An entry has been added to UPDATING and some foot-shooting protection (complete
with warnings which should become errors in the near future) to the top-level
base system Makefile.
This (almost) gives us the address space back (at the bottom) that we lost
at the top.
Region 0 has traditionally been reserved for IA-32 emulation, which has not
been of great interest. By starting 64-bit processes at the 4G boundary we
at least preserve some of the advantages:
1. Any invalid pointer cast (from int to pointer and back) will still
always fail and not only when more than 4GB of memory is in use.
2. Memory sharing between 64-bit and 32-bit processes is still possibly
by using addresses < 4G.
x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.
Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

These changes are needed to fix n32 compile after the recent change of
mips n32 MACHINE_ARCH to mipsn32eb/mipsn32el.

Implement MACHINE_ARCH=mips64e[lb] to build N64 images. This replaces
MACHINE_ARCH=mipse[lb] TARGET_ABI=n64.
MACHINE_ARCH=mipsn32e[lb] has been added, but currently requires
WITHOUT_CDDL due to atomic issues in libzfs. I've not investigated
this much, but implemented this to preserve as much of the TARGET_ABI
functionality that I could. Since its presence doesn't affect the
working cases, I've kept it in for now.
Added mips64e[lb] to make universe, so more kernels build.
And I think this (finally) closes the curtain on the tbemd tree.
it exists in order to allow arch-specific overrides. This fixes the
binutils (and world) build on powerpc64 after recent TBEMD merges.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.
UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.
This is done by prepending the file to elfxx-ia64, not appending it.
Additionally, reduce diffs between Makefile.amd64 and Makefile.ia64;
instead of echo'ing defines in Makefiles, just add the needed define to
elf-fbsd-brand.c directly, as it is only used for amd64 and ia64.
tc-sparc-fixed.c entirely, since the fix has been integrated into
contrib/binutils/gas/config/tc-sparc.c by upstream. Define TARGET_OS
in addition to the other TARGET_XXX defines.
