8aa7fd43d2 Ho, ho, ho... this clock chip is not y2k compliant. Motorola
has it blacklisted. Silly us for not planning ahead. Tsk. Anyway-
a 10 year window patch is probably sufficient to still detect
nonsense in the clock but allow us to roll past the year 2000.

firmware says.

dc295ed278 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.

224577d6cf Add initial support for the FreeBSD/alpha kernel. This is very much a
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
