by pmap_extract_and_hold() that will have to be handled by a call to

pmap_unmapdev()'s own direct efforts to destroy the page table entries are
redundant, so eliminate them.
Don't set PTE_W on the page table entry in pmap_kenter{,_attr}() on MIPS.
Setting PTE_W on MIPS is inconsistent with the implementation of this
function on other architectures. Moreover, PTE_W should not be set, unless
the pmap's wired mapping count is incremented, which pmap_kenter{,_attr}()
doesn't do.

Set PV_TABLE_REF whenever the physical page being mapped is managed, not
just when it is writeable.
Only call pmap_update_page() when the old mapping was valid. If there was
no prior valid mapping, then pmap_update_page() serves no useful purpose.
However, it will interrupt every processor that has the pmap active.

Always set PTE_RO.

used the page's hold count to track the number of valid mapping within a
page table page. Also, returning TRUE from pmap_unwire_ptp() rather than
_pmap_unwire_ptp() eliminates a few instructions from callers like
pmap_enter_quick_locked() where pmap_unwire_ptp()'s return value is used
directly by a conditional statement.

This has an AR7240 SoC with an AR9285 wireless NIC on-board.

The flash layout defaults to a 1 MiB section for the kernel so I'm trying
very hard to squeeze a minimialistic (LZMA compressde) kernel image into
that.
I've verified that it boots through to single user mode fine.
Issues:
* USB doesn't yet work as a module - I need to add something else to the
USB AR71xx build before that will work.
* There's no switch PHY support - but for now it quite happily behaves
as a useful dumb switch out of the box. Phew.
* Since a previous flash attempt trashed my radio configuration block,
I haven't yet verified whether the wireless works correctly.
I'll test that out shortly (read: once I re-calibrate the board somehow.)

used with Terasic's DE-4 and other similar FPGA boards. This display
is 800x480 and includes a capacitive touch screen, multi-touch
gesture recognition, etc. This device driver depends on a Cambridge-
provided IP core that allows the MTL device to be hooked up to the
Altera Avalon SoC bus, and also provides a VGA-like text frame buffer.
Although it is compiled as a single device driver, it actually
implements a number of different device nodes exporting various
aspects of this multi-function device to userspace:
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL 24-bit pixel frame buffer.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL control register set.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL text frame buffer.
- syscons attachment for the MTL text frame buffer.
This driver attaches directly to Nexus as is common for SoC device
drivers, and for the time being is considered BERI-specific, although
in principle it might be used with other hard and soft cores on
Altera FPGAs.
Control registers, including touchscreen input, are simply memory
mapped; in the future it would be desirable to hook up a more
conventional device node that can stream events, support kqueue(2)/
poll(2)/select(2), etc.
This is the first use of syscons on MIPS, as far as I can tell, and
there are some loose ends, such as an inability to use the hardware
cursor. More fundamentally, it appears that syscons(4) assumes that
either a host is PC-like (i386, amd64) *or* it must be using a
graphical frame buffer. While the MTL supports a graphical frame
buffer, using the text frame buffer is preferable for console use.
Fixing this issue in syscons(4) requires non-trivial changes, as the
text frame buffer support assumes that direct memory access can be
done to the text frame buffer without using bus accessor methods,
which is not the case on MIPS. As a workaround for this, we instead
double-buffer and pretend to be a graphical frame buffer exposing
text accessor methods, leading to some quirks in syscons behaviour.

The driver attempts to support all documented parts, but has only been
tested with the 512Mbit part on the Terasic DE4 FPGA board. It should be
trivial to adapt the driver's attach routine to other embedded boards
using with any parts in the family.
Also import isfctl(8) which can be used to erase sections of the flash.

which presents a UART-like interface over the Avalon bus that can be
addressed over JTAG. This IP core proves extremely useful, allowing us to
connect trivially to the FreeBSD console over JTAG for FPGA-embedded hard
and soft cores. As interrupts are optionally configured for this soft
core, we support both interrupt-driven and polled modes of operation,
which must be selected using device.hints. UART instances appear in /dev
as ttyu0, ttyu1, etc.
However, it also contains a number of quirks, which make it difficult to
tell when JTAG is connected, and some buffering issues. We work around
these as best we can, using various heuristics.
While the majority of this device driver is not only not BERI-specific,
but also not MIPS-specific, for now add its defines in the BERI files
list, as the console-level parts are aware of where the first JTAG UART
is mapped on Avalon, and contain MIPS-specific address translation, to
use before Newbus and device.hints are available.

the way on making it work regardless of that.
