the old way was to store pcpu in a register, and get curthread from pcpu,
which is not very atomic, and led to issues if the thread was migrated
to another core between the time we got the pcpu address and the time we
got curthread.
Instead, we now store curthread where pcpu used to be store, and we
calculate the pcpu address based on the cpu id.
to check the status property in their probe routines.
Simplebus used to only instantiate its children whose status="okay"
but that was improper behavior, fixed in r261352. Now that it doesn't
check anymore and probes all its children; the children all have to
do the check because really only the children know how to properly
interpret their status property strings.
Right now all existing drivers only understand "okay" versus something-
that's-not-okay, so they all use the new ofw_bus_status_okay() helper.
It turns out the version of gas we're using interprets the old '_all' mask
as 'fc' instead of 'fsxc'. That is, "all" doesn't really mean "all".
This was the cause of the "wrong-endian register restore" bug that's
been causing problems with some cortex-a9 chips. The 'endian' bit in the
spsr register would never get changed (it falls into the 'x' mask group)
and the first return-from-exception would fail if the chip had powered on
with garbage in the spsr register that included the big-endian bit. It's
unknown why this affected only certain cortex-a9 chips.
strings and include arbitrary information (IRQ line/domain/sense). When the
ofw_bus_map_intr() API was introduced, it assumed that, as on most systems,
these were either 1 cell, containing an interrupt line, or 2, containing
a line number plus a sense code. It turns out a non-negligible number of
ARM systems use 3 (or even 4!) cells for interrupts, so make this more
general.
devices. This is a nop, except for what's reported by atmelbus for the
resources.
It would be nice if we could dymanically allocated these things, but
the pmap_mapdev panics if we don't keep the static mappings, so we
still need to play the carefully allocate VA space between all
supported SoC game.
User's with their own devices may need to make adjustments.

Add options for early printf so we get regression build testing on it.
Add preview of options for FDT support coming soon (I hope)
console, it calls the grab functions. These functions should turn off
the RX interrupts, and any others that interfere. This makes mountroot
prompt work again. If there's more generalized need other than
prompting, many of these routines should be expanded to do those new
things.
