Robert Watson 4527ee3e06 Commit a first cut at ports of boot2 and loader to 64-bit MIPS, with a
particular interest in (and support for) SRI International and the
University of Cambridge's BERI FPGA soft-core processor.  This includes
micro device drivers for the Altera JTAG UART console, memory-mapped
flash, and the Altera SD Card IP core in both boot2 and loader.  boot2
can be written to the on-board Intel StrataFlash on the DE4 board, and
loader can be placed in StrataFlash or the SD Card.

Plenty of XXX comments, but works quite well locally in practice and I
am using it daily.  Although I had originally ported the ARM version
of boot2, the current version is x86-derived as that proved more
feature-complete.  As we don't currently use partitions on our flash
disks, support for that has been commented out relative to x86, but
would be easy to add back.  FDT support has not yet been hooked up,
although some skeleton parts have been put in place for that.

This may well be a useful starting point for ports to other 32-bit and
64-bit MIPS-ISA systems.

This merge is synchronised to CheriBSD github commit
e41d74fd719525d4dd7a7ee499114679165eeaf6, but with some additions of
$FreeBSD.

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 ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

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.
