the 7.0 timeframe.
This is needed because I4B is not locked and NET_NEEDS_GIANT goes away.
The plan is to lock I4B and bring everything back for 7.1.

and pc98 MD files. Remove nodevice and nooption lines specific
to sio(4) from ia64, powerpc and sparc64 NOTES. There were no
such lines for arm yet.
sio(4) is usable on less than half the platforms, not counting
a future mips platform. Its presence in MI files is therefore
increasingly becoming a burden.
the linux module, since it is not cross-platform
- move linprocfs from "files" and "options" to architecture specific files,
since it only makes sense to build this for those architectures, where we
also have a linuxolator
- disable the build of the linuxolator on our tier-2 architecture "Alpha":
* we don't have a linux_base port which supports Alpha and at the
same time is not outdated/obsoleted upstream/in a good condition/
currently working
* the upcomming new default linux base port is based upon Fedora
Core 3 (security support via http://www.fedoralegacy.org), which
isn't available for Alpha (like the current default linux base
port which is based upon Red Hat 8)
* nobody answered my request for testing it ~1 month ago on
current@ and alpha@ (it doesn't surprises me, see above)
* a SoC student wouldn't have to waste time on something which
nobody is willing to test
This does not remove the alpha specific MD files of the linuxolator yet.

end for isa(4).
o Add a seperate bus frontend for acpi(4) and allow ISA DMA for
it when ISA is configured in the kernel. This allows acpi(4)
attachments in non-ISA configurations, as is possible for ia64.
o Add a seperate bus frontend for pci(4) and detect known single
port parallel cards.
o Merge PC98 specific changes under pc98/cbus into the MI driver.
The changes are minor enough for conditional compilation and
in this form invites better abstraction.
o Have ppc(4) usabled on all platforms, now that ISA specifics
are untangled enough.
IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI. If the kernel
option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled). This
includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of
being dependent on KDB_STOP_NMI. It works fine in both the NMI and
non-NMI cases.
as they are already default for I686_CPU for almost 3 years, and
CPU_DISABLE_SSE always disables it. On the other hand, CPU_ENABLE_SSE
does not work for I486_CPU and I586_CPU.
This commit has:
- Removed the option from conf/options.*
- Removed the option and comments from MD NOTES files
- Simplified the CPU_ENABLE_SSE ifdef's so they don't
deal with CPU_ENABLE_SSE from kernel configuration. (*)
For most users, this commit should be largely no-op. If you used to
place CPU_ENABLE_SSE into your kernel configuration for some reason,
it is time to remove it.
(*) The ifdef's of CPU_ENABLE_SSE are not removed at this point, since
we need to change it to !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE) && defined(I686_CPU),
not just !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE), if we really want to do so.

remaining consumers to have the count passed as an option. This is
i4b, pc98/wdc, and coda.
Bump configvers.h from 500013 to 600000.
Remove heuristics that tried to parse "device ed5" as 5 units of the ed
device. This broke things like the snd_emu10k1 device, which required
quotes to make it parse right. The no-longer-needed quotes have been
removed from NOTES, GENERIC etc. eg, I've removed the quotes from:
device snd_maestro
device "snd_maestro3"
device snd_mss
I believe everything will still compile and work after this.
amd64 agp option here in order to let the pc98 kernel build
complete. This doesn't seem right, since there probably aren't
plans to build a pc98 amd64 box; however, it's not clear to me
how to get config to generate an opt_agp.h without an option
defined.
Only cy, bs and wd in the tree still use it. I have a replacement for
cy that I need to test on ISA and PCI cards. bs and wd are pc98 only
drivers that appear to no longer be necessary. I'll be removing them
when I hear back from the pc98 people.
should only be used if they are enabled in the BIOS. Now that we support
enumerating CPUs using the ACPI MADT, any HTT machine using ACPI should
respect the BIOS setting. For HTT machines with ACPI disabled in the
kernel, the MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT kernel option can be used to try to probe HTT
CPUs like have done in the past for the MP Table case. This option should
only be enabled if HTT is enabled in the BIOS.
This keeps the logical cpu's halted in the idle loop. By default
the logical cpu's are halted at startup. It is also possible to
halt any cpu in the idle loop now using machdep.hlt_cpus.
Examples of how to use this:
machdep.hlt_cpus=1 halt cpu0
machdep.hlt_cpus=2 halt cpu1
machdep.hlt_cpus=4 halt cpu2
machdep.hlt_cpus=3 halt cpu0,cpu1

support this, we do have MI code that references it and is otherwise
unaware of an override. The alternative is to put knowledge in these
MI files about which platforms have the opt_kstack_pages.h option file.
It is more likely that other platforms will gain the ability to tune the
kstack size.
if compiling with I686_CPU as a target. CPU_DISABLE_SSE will prevent
this from happening and will guarantee the code is not compiled in.
I am still not happy with this, but gcc is now generating code that uses
these instructions if you set CPUTYPE to p3/p4 or athlon-4/mp/xp or higher.
