the way on making it work regardless of that.

advantages. First, PV entries are roughly half the size. Second, this
allocator doesn't access the paging queues, and thus it will allow for the
removal of the page queues lock from this pmap.
Fix a rather serious bug in pmap_remove_write(). After removing write
access from the specified page's first mapping, pmap_remove_write() then
used the wrong "next" pointer. Consequently, the page's second, third,
etc. mappings were not write protected.

This is only done if the ARGE_MDIO option is included.
* Shuffle the arge MDIO bus into a separate device, that needs to be
probed early (use hint.argemdio.X.order=0)
* hint.arge.X.mdio now specifies which miiproxy to rendezvous with.
* Call MAC/MDIO bus init during MDIO attach, not arge attach.
This is done regardless:
* Shift the arge MAC and MDIO bus reset code into separate functions
and call it early during MDIO bus attach. It's required for
correct MDIO bus IO to occur on AR71xx/AR91xx devices.
* Remove the AR71xx/AR91xx centric assumption that there's only one
MDIO bus. The initial code mapped miibus0(arge0) and miibus1(arge1)
MII register operations to the MII0 (arge0) register space. The
AR724x (and later, upcoming chipsets) have two MDIO busses and
the second is very much in use.
TODO:
* since the multiphy behaviour has changed (where now a phymask of >1

I'll go and fix these so they still have a chance of working, at least.

o) Retire ISA_* options since they're unused and were always wrong.
using the o32 ABI. This mostly follows nwhitehorn's lead in implementing
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 on powerpc64.
o) Add a new type to the freebsd32 compat layer, time32_t, which is time_t in the
32-bit ABI being used. Since the MIPS port is relatively-new, even the 32-bit
ABIs use a 64-bit time_t.
o) Because time{spec,val}32 has the same size and layout as time{spec,val} on MIPS
with 32-bit compatibility, then, disable some code which assumes otherwise
wrongly when built for MIPS. A more general macro to check in this case would
seem like a good idea eventually. If someone adds support for using n32
userland with n64 kernels on MIPS, then they will have to add a variety of
flags related to each piece of the ABI that can vary. That's probably the
right time to generalize further.
o) Add MIPS to the list of architectures which use PAD64_REQUIRED in the
freebsd32 compat code. Probably this should be generalized at some point.

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.

library:
o) Increase inline unit / large function growth limits for MIPS to accommodate
the needs of the Simple Executive, which uses a shocking amount of inlining.
o) Remove TARGET_OCTEON and use CPU_CNMIPS to do things required by cnMIPS and
the Octeon SoC.
o) Add OCTEON_VENDOR_LANNER to use Lanner's allocation of vendor-specific
board numbers, specifically to support the MR320.
o) Add OCTEON_BOARD_CAPK_0100ND to hard-wire configuration for the CAPK-0100nd,
which improperly uses an evaluation board's board number and breaks board
detection at runtime. This board is sold by Portwell as the CAM-0100.
o) Add support for the RTC available on some Octeon boards.
o) Add support for the Octeon PCI bus. Note that rman_[sg]et_virtual for IO
ports can not work unless building for n64.
o) Clean up the CompactFlash driver to use Simple Executive macros and
structures where possible (it would be advisable to use the Simple Executive
API to set the PIO mode, too, but that is not done presently.) Also use
structures from FreeBSD's ATA layer rather than structures copied from
Linux.
o) Print available Octeon SoC features on boot.
o) Add support for the Octeon timecounter.
o) Use the Simple Executive's routines rather than local copies for doing reads
and writes to 64-bit addresses and use its macros for various device
addresses rather than using local copies.
o) Rename octeon_board_real to octeon_is_simulation to reduce differences with
Cavium-provided code originally written for Linux. Also make it use the
same simplified test that the Simple Executive and Linux both use rather
than our complex one.
o) Add support for the Octeon CIU, which is the main interrupt unit, as a bus
to use normal interrupt allocation and setup routines.
o) Use the Simple Executive's bootmem facility to allocate physical memory for
the kernel, rather than assuming we know which addresses we can steal.
NB: This may reduce the amount of RAM the kernel reports you as having if
you are leaving large temporary allocations made by U-Boot allocated
when starting FreeBSD.
o) Add a port of the Cavium-provided Ethernet driver for Linux. This changes
Ethernet interface naming from rgmxN to octeN. The new driver has vast
improvements over the old one, both in performance and functionality, but
does still have some features which have not been ported entirely and there
may be unimplemented code that can be hit in everyday use. I will make
every effort to correct those as they are reported.
o) Support loading the kernel on non-contiguous cores.
o) Add very conservative support for harvesting randomness from the Octeon
random number device.
o) Turn SMP on by default.
o) Clean up the style of the Octeon kernel configurations a little and make
them compile with -march=octeon.
o) Add support for the Lanner MR320 and the CAPK-0100nd to the Simple
Executive.
o) Modify the Simple Executive to build on FreeBSD and to build without
executive-config.h or cvmx-config.h. In the future we may want to
revert part of these changes and supply executive-config.h and
cvmx-config.h and access to the options contained in those files via
kernel configuration files.
o) Modify the Simple Executive USB routines to support getting and setting
of the USB PID.
this in the Sibyte PCI hostbridge driver instead.
The nexus driver sees resource allocation requests for memory and irq
resources only. These are legitimate resources on all MIPS platforms.

Does 4 things:
1) Adds future RMI directories
2) Places intr_machdep.c in specfic files.arch pointing to the generic
intr_machdep.c. This allows us to have an architecture dependant
intr_machdep.c (which we will need for RMI) in the machine specific
directory
3) removes intr_machdep.c from files.mips
4) Adds some TARGET_XLR_XLS ifdef's for the machine specific intra_machdep.h. We
may need to look at finding a better place to put this. But first I want to
get this thing compiling.
