from OpenFirmware be 16 pages to avoid fragmentation in the list
of mappings returned when the kernel requests it in pmap_bootstrap.
This allows a static buffer to be used when obtaining the existing
mappings - very useful on the G5 when random physical pages can't
be grabbed because they can't be BAT-mapped.

be assumed that modules are contiguous in memory (they're not)
so don't blindly __syncicache start/end. In fact, don't bother
syncing the icache for modules since the kernel will do it after
fixing up relocations.
This fixes the trap when loading modules at boot time.

copying, rather than a page at a time. This was creating far
too many single-page mappings, and eventually OFW overflowed
some internal data structure and refused to map any more.
The new algorithm creates far less mappings and fixed a bug
where multiple mappings for the same page would be created.
'Twas known this was a problem, but only became urgent when the
install CD's mfs_root grew large enough to cause the overflow.

1:1 BAT mapping. Sparc64 doesn't do this either.

things over floppy size limits, I can exclude it for release builds or
something like that. Most of the changes are to get the load_elf.c file
into a seperate elf32_ or elf64_ namespace so that you can have two
ELF loaders present at once. Note that for 64 bit kernels, it actually
starts up the kernel already in 64 bit mode with paging enabled. This
is really easy because we have a known minimum feature set.
Of note is that for amd64, we have to pass in the bios int 15 0xe821
memory map because once in long mode, you absolutely cannot make VM86
calls. amd64 does not use 'struct bootinfo' at all. It is a pure loader
metadata startup, just like sparc64 and powerpc. Much of the
infrastructure to support this was adapted from sparc64.
path, instead of an internal i386 specific one. Don't try to interpret
a disklabel in ofw_disk.c, open the partition's device node directly and
let the firmware do it. This fixes booting from a partition other than 'a'
on sparc64, which is needed to support more installation methods.
No objection: ppc
than the first one on a controller, and work for secondary
controllers.
Due to the prom not having nodes for each disk, but a catch-all one,
we have to iterate over each device, trying to open it to determine
whether it is actually present.
Since probing this way takese some time (and spews some spurious
warnings), it should maybe be short-circuited if we use the
device we were booted from.
Implement lazy device probing, and correct slice/partiniton
handling in the ofwd_open() code. With this, I can now actually boot
a kernel from disk, and the loader does not create unnecessary
delays.

- Remove change for my local configuration that slipped in with
the last commit; I am having problems booting when multiple SCSI
disks are attached, so I will change this part as soon as I find
a solution, anyway.
- Remove two constants that were needed in conjuction with the
NetBSD disklabel header. Use the FreeBSD equivalents.
To boot from NetBSD/sparc64 partitions, define LABELOFFSET to
be 128.
- Do not use the complete open firmware path to filter out cdrom drives.
No path containing "cdrom" is detected as a disk now.
- Simplify some code.
Firmware.
- Add a temporary disklabel header to boot off a NetBSD/sparc64
partition. This file can be deleted when we have got a FCode
bootblock.
The disklabel header was obtained from NetBSD.
- Use unsigned types for the (32-bit) Open Firmware device handles
to avoid sign extension on 64-bit architectures.
- Add a standard type definition for Open Firmware arguments.
- Flesh out ofw_readin routine.
- Add OpenFirmware load and exec routines.
- Make sure memory allocation for the kernel is done correctly.
- Change the way the heap is allocated so as to make it easier to deallocate
when we hand over.
- Add a command to print memory maps similar to the one for ia64.
With this patch, I can now load and hand over to a kernel on my iMac. There
are some problems with OpenFirmware routines failing after the hand over that
still need to be addressed.
As of this patchset, the loader builds (under NetBSD/macppc), boots, interacts
and talks to BOOTP/NFS servers.
(main.c was moved from boot/ofw/libofw to boot/ofw/common but has no revision
history)
