least unsuitable for holding an object pointer. This should have been
used to fix warnings about casts between pointers and ints on alphas.
Moved corresponding existing general typedef (fptrint_t) for function
pointers from the i386 <machine/profile.h> to a kernel-only typedef
in <machine/types.h>. Kludged libc/gmon/mcount.c so that it can
still see this typedef.
is the kernel part of my commits, the userlevel stuff will be done in
a separate commit. Add the ability to suspend as well as hibernate to
syscons. Create a new virtual key like hibernate for suspend. Update
apm_bios.h to define more apm bios goodies.
mask address around when registering interrupts is wrong IMHO. We should
use a priority level like IPL_BIO and the lower levels can then translate
it into a mask if they want.

The patch supports using the X10 Mouse Remote in both stand-alone and
pass-through configurations, so you can plug your mouse and remote into the
same serial port, use the mouse for X, and use the remote for other apps
like Fxtv. For instance, we can now control fxtv via the remote control
just like a TV : change channels, mute, increase volume, zoom video,
freeze frame 8)
The mouse events are channeled through the syscons/sysmouse I/F like
normal, and the remote buttons are "syphoned off" to a UNIX-domain stream
socket (defined as _PATH_MOUSEREMOTE in <machine/mouse.h>) for a
remote-aware app to grab and use.

Major changes to the generic device framework for FreeBSD/alpha:
* Eliminate bus_t and make it possible for all devices to have
attached children.
* Support dynamically extendable interfaces for drivers to replace
both the function pointers in driver_t and bus_ops_t (which has been
removed entirely. Two system defined interfaces have been defined,
'device' which is mandatory for all devices and 'bus' which is
recommended for all devices which support attached children.
* In addition, the alpha port defines two simple interfaces 'clock'
for attaching various real time clocks to the system and 'mcclock'
for the many different variations of mc146818 clocks which can be
attached to different alpha platforms. This eliminates two more
function pointer tables in favour of the generic method dispatch
system provided by the device framework.
Future device interfaces may include:
* cdev and bdev interfaces for devfs to use in replacement for specfs
and the fixed interfaces bdevsw and cdevsw.
* scsi interface to replace struct scsi_adapter (not sure how this
works in CAM but I imagine there is something similar there).
* various tailored interfaces for different bus types such as pci,
isa, pccard etc.

work in progress and has never booted a real machine. Initial
development and testing was done using SimOS (see
http://simos.stanford.edu for details). On the SimOS simulator, this
port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).
Obtained from: partly from NetBSD/alpha
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
Linux emulation. This make Allegro Common Lisp 4.3 work under
FreeBSD!
