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.
required for the ABI the kernel is being built for.
XXX This is implemented in a kind-of nasty way that involves including source
files, but it's still an improvement.
o) Retire ISA_* options since they're unused and were always wrong.
Create std.XLP for configuration options, which is included by the
conf files. The files XLP, XLPN32 and XLP64 will have mostly ABI related
options.
Also move uart and pci to mips/nlm/std.xlp since all XLP configurations
needs these devices.

* Update the hardware access register definitions and functions to bring
them in line with other Netlogic software.
* Update the platform bus to use PCI even for on-chip devices. Add a dummy
PCI driver to ignore on-chip devices which do not need driver.
* Provide memory and IRQ resource allocation code for on-chip devices
which cannot get it from PCI config.
* add support for on-chip PCI and USB interfaces.
* update conf files, enable pci and retain old MAXCPU until we can support
>32 cpus.

From now on, default values for FreeBSD will be 64 maxiumum supported
CPUs on amd64 and ia64 and 128 for XLP. All the other architectures
seem already capped appropriately (with the exception of sparc64 which
needs further support on jalapeno flavour).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect KBI/KPI brekage introduced
during the infrastructure cleanup for supporting MAXCPU > 32. This
covers cpumask_t retiral too.
The switch is considered completed at the present time, so for whatever
bug you may experience that is reconducible to that area, please report
immediately.

This patch adds support for the Netlogic XLP mips64 processors in
the common MIPS code. The changes are :
- Add CPU_NLM processor type
- Add cases for CPU_NLM, mostly were CPU_RMI is used.
- Update cache flush changes for CPU_NLM
- Add kernel build configuration files for xLP.
