John Baldwin 2e41ba54d6 Rework the $PIR (aka PCIBIOS) PCI interrupt routing code and split it off
into its own file:
- All of the $PIR interrupt routing is now done in a link-centric fashion.
  When a host-PCI bridge that uses the $PIR attaches, it calls pir_parse()
  to parse the table.  This scans for link devices and merges all the masks
  for each link device from the table entries.  It then looks at the intline
  register of PCI devices connected to a link to figure out if the BIOS has
  routed this link and if so to which IRQ.
- The IRQ for any given link can be overridden via a hint like so:
  'hw.pci.link.0x62.irq=10'  Any IRQ set in this matter is treated as if it
  were set that way by the BIOS.
- We only call the BIOS to route each link device once.
- When a PCI device wants to route an interrupt, we look it up in the $PIR
  to find the associated link.  If the link is routed, we simply return the
  IRQ it is using.  If it is not routed, we have to pick one.  This uses a
  different algorithm from the old code.  First off, when we try to pick
  an interrupt from a mask of possible interrupts, we try to pick the one
  that is least loaded as far as PCI devices.  We maintain this weight based
  on the number of devices attached to each link device.  When choosing an
  IRQ, we first attempt to route using any PCI only interrupts (the old
  code did this as well).  If that doesn't work, we try to use the list of
  IRQs that the BIOS has used.  This is a new step that the new code didn't
  do and avoids using IRQ 3 or 4 for every virgin interrupt routing.  If
  none of the IRQs that the BIOS used worked, then we fall back to trying
  anything.
- The fallback mask for !PC98 was fixed to include IRQ 3 and not allow IRQ
  2.
- We don't use the $PIR to route interrupts on a PCI-PCI bridge unless it
  has already been used to route on at least one Host-PCI bridge.  This
  helps to avoid mixing and matching x86 firmware PCI interrupt routing
  methods (which is a Bad Thing(tm)).

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
