I think these are the relevant changes, but definitely are a superset
of them. Software archaeologists are invited to check the branch
itself for the details.

Specify loader script and load address

The default KERNLOADADDR does not work on MALTA hardware. On my platform the
"First free SDRAM address" reported by YAMON is 0x800b6e61.
So use a conservative KERNLOADADDR of 0x80100000.

Kludge: pretend to be ISA_MIPS32 for the moment.

- Replace CPU_NOFPU and SOFTFLOAT options with CPU_FPU. By default
we assume that there is no FPU, because majority of SoC does
not have it.

Redboot loads kernel now

- Add trampoline stuff for bootloaders that do not support ELF
- Replace arm'ish KERNPHYSADDR/KERNVIRTADDR with
KERNLOADADDR/TRAMPLOADADDR and clean configs
module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.
machine arm
device mem
device uart_ns8250
options GEOM_BSD
options GEOM_MBR
Remove the first three from all kernel configuration files
(sometimes commented-out) and change geom_bsd and geom_mbr
from standard to optional.
mips32r2 and mips64r2 (and close relatives) processors. There
presently is support for ADMtek ADM5120, A mips 4Kc in a malta board,
the RB533 routerboard (based on IDT RC32434) and some preliminary
support for sibtye/broadcom designs. Other hardware support will be
forthcomcing.
This port boots multiuser under gxemul emulating the malta board and
also bootstraps on the hardware whose support is forthcoming...
Oleksandr Tymoshenko, Wojciech Koszek, Warner Losh, Olivier Houchard,
Randall Stewert and others that have contributed to the mips2 and/or
mips2-jnpr perforce branches. Juniper contirbuted a generic mips port
late in the life cycle of the misp2 branch. Warner Losh merged the
mips2 and Juniper code bases, and others list above have worked for
the past several months to get to multiuser.
In addition, the mips2 work owe a debt to the trail blazing efforts of
the original mips branch in perforce done by Juli Mallett.
