critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

subset ("compatible", "device_type", "model" and "name") of the standard
properties in drivers for devices on Open Firmware supported busses. The
standard properties "reg", "interrupts" und "address" are not covered by
this interface because they are only of interest in the respective bridge
code. There's a remaining standard property "status" which is unclear how
to support properly but which also isn't used in FreeBSD at present.
This ofw_bus kobj-interface allows to replace the various (ebus_get_node(),
ofw_pci_get_node(), etc.) and partially inconsistent (central_get_type()
vs. sbus_get_device_type(), etc.) existing IVAR ones with a common one.
This in turn allows to simplify and remove code-duplication in drivers for
devices that can hang off of more than one OFW supported bus.
- Convert the sparc64 Central, EBus, FHC, PCI and SBus bus drivers and the
drivers for their children to use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. The IVAR-
interfaces of the Central, EBus and FHC are entirely replaced by this. The
PCI bus driver used its own kobj-interface and now also uses the ofw_bus
one. The IVARs special to the SBus, e.g. for retrieving the burst size,
remain.
Beware: this causes an ABI-breakage for modules of drivers which used the
IVAR-interfaces, i.e. esp(4), hme(4), isp(4) and uart(4), which need to be
recompiled.
The style-inconsistencies introduced in some of the bus drivers will be
fixed by tmm@ in a generic clean-up of the respective drivers later (he
requested to add the changes in the "new" style).
- Convert the powerpc MacIO bus driver and the drivers for its children to
use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. This invloves removing the IVARs related
to the "reg" property which were unused and a leftover from the NetBSD
origini of the code. There's no ABI-breakage caused by this because none
of these driver are currently built as modules.
There are other powerpc bus drivers which can be converted to the ofw_bus
kobj-interface, e.g. the PCI bus driver, which should be done together
with converting powerpc to use the OFW PCI code from sparc64.
- Make the SBus and FHC front-end of zs(4) and the sparc64 eeprom(4) take
advantage of the ofw_bus kobj-interface and simplify them a bit.

Note that currently pc98 shares the MD file with i386. This needs
to change when pc98 support is fleshed-out to properly support the
various UARTs. A good example is sparc64 in this respect.
We build uart(4) as a module on all platforms. This may break

To use uart(4) on alpha, one must use the NO_SIO option.
for now. It introduces a OFW PCI bus driver and a generic OFW PCI-PCI
bridge driver. By utilizing these, the PCI handling is much more elegant
now.
The advantages of the new approach are:
- Device enumeration should hopefully be more like on Solaris now,
so unit numbers should match what's printed on the box more
closely.
- Real interrupt routing is implemented now, so cardbus bridges
etc. have at least a chance to work.
- The quirk tables are gone and have been replaced by (hopefully
sufficient) heuristics.
- Much cleaner code.
There was also a report that previously bogus interrupt assignments
are fixed now, which can be attributed to the new heuristics.
A pitfall, and the reason why this is not the default yet, is that
it changes device enumeration, as mentioned above, which can make
it necessary to change the system configuration if more than one
unit of a device type is present (on a system with two hme cars,
for example, it is possible that hme0 becomes hme1 and vice versa
after enabling the option). Systems with multiple disk controllers
may need to be booted into single user (and require manual specification
of the root file system on boot) to adjust the fstab.
Nevertheless, I would like to encourage users to use this option,
so that it can be made the default soon.
In detail, the changes are:
- Introduce an OFW PCI bus driver; it inherits most methods from the
generic PCI bus driver, but uses the firmware for enumeration,
performs additional initialization for devices and firmware-specific
interrupt routing. It also implements an OFW-specific method to allow
child devices to get their firmware nodes.
- Introduce an OFW PCI-PCI bridge driver; again, it inherits most
of the generic PCI-PCI bridge driver; it has it's own method for
interrupt routing, as well as some sparc64-specific methods (one to
get the node again, and one to adjust the bridge bus range, since
we need to reenumerate all PCI buses).
- Convert the apb driver to the new way of handling things.
- Provide a common framework for OFW bridge drivers, used be the two
drivers above.
- Provide a small common framework for interrupt routing (for all
bridge types).
- Convert the psycho driver to the new framework; this gets rid of a
bunch of old kludges in pci_read_config(), and the whole
preinitialization (ofw_pci_init()).
- Convert the ISA MD part and the EBus driver to the new way
interrupts and nodes are handled.
- Introduce types for firmware interrupt properties.
- Rename the old sparcbus_if to ofw_pci_if by repo copy (it is only
required for PCI), and move it to a more correct location (new
support methodsx were also added, and an old one was deprecated).
- Fix a bunch of minor bugs, perform some cleanups.
In some cases, I introduced some minor code duplication to keep the
new code clean, in hopes that the old code will be unifdef'ed soon.

that the virtual cachability of these mappings can be tracked when a page
is mapped to more than one virtual address. All virtually cachable
mappings of a physical page must have the same virtual colour, or illegal
alises can be created in the data cache. This is a bit tricky because we
still have to recognize managed and unmanaged mappings, even though they
