restructuring of the driver. I've tried to preserve the other silicon
workarounds that we've added over the years, but haven't had a chance
to extensively test on other hardware. On my AT91RM9200 with 30MHz/1
wire/64 block transfers, I've been able to go from ~.66MB/s to
2.25MB/s in the simple tests I performed, almost a 3.5x improvement.
This cuts the boot time almost in half when everything else goes
right (timed from rtc message to login: prompt).

explicltly enable that. The driver chose to use 60MHz / 2 (30MHz)
most of the time rather than 60MHz / 4 (15MHz) based on the Linux
driver of the time. This pushes the spec a little in order to not
suffer the penalty of running at 15MHz. However, when other bus
masters are active in the system, and the user tries 4-wire mode, the
internal bus arbitration would fail with data loss as a result.

BUS_DMA_COHERENT attribute
The minimum unit for changing "cachable" attribute is page, so call
to pmap_change_attr effectively disable cache for all pages that newly
allocated DMA memory region spans on. The problem is that general-purpose
memory could reside on these pages too and disabling cache might affect
performance. Moreover ldrex/strex operators raise Data Abort exception
when accessing memory on page with "cachable" attribute off.
BUS_DMA_COHERENT does nto require memory to be coherent. It just suggests
to do best effort for reducing synchronization overhead.
frequencies. The maximum freqency is 100 kHz according to the datasheet.
- Add child device probing support based on the device tree. It now tries to
find i2c-address property in the tree and attach the device with given slave
address to iicbus.
Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
ARM EABI the syscall value will be moved to a register to ease adding thumb
support. When this happens decoding of the instruction will no longer be
required.
to pull vm_param.h was removed. Other big dependency of vm_page.h on
vm_param.h are PA_LOCK* definitions, which are only needed for
in-kernel code, because modules use KBI-safe functions to lock the
pages.
Stop including vm_param.h into vm_page.h. Include vm_param.h
explicitely for the kernel code which needs it.
