executables. The goal here, not yet accomplished, is to let the e500 kernel
run under QEMU by setting KERNBASE to something that fits in low memory and
then having the kernel relocate itself at runtime.
it processes its own ELF relocations and can be loaded and run in place at
any physical/virtual address.

Kernel sources for 64-bit PowerPC, along with build-system changes to keep
32-bit kernels compiling (build system changes for 64-bit kernels are
coming later). Existing 32-bit PowerPC kernel configurations must be
updated after this change to specify their architecture.
The following systems are affected:
- MPC8555CDS
- MPC8572DS
This overhaul covers the following major changes:
- All integrated peripherals drivers for Freescale MPC85XX SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).
- This includes: LBC, PCI / PCI-Express, I2C, DS1553, OpenPIC, TSEC, SEC,
QUICC, UART, CFI.
- Thanks to the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) we retire
ocpbus(4) driver, which was based on hard-coded config data.
Note that world for these platforms has to be built WITH_FDT.

config(8) in order to prevent yourself from seeing a warning about old
version of that tool.
You should configure the kernel with a new config(8) then.

used in the base system. This has been much discussed in the past
(typically people giving me a hard time for it). Since all that was
added to config was nocpu, and since we don't use it, we don't need to
bump the version.
Also, move the -I stuff to the centralized kern.pre.mk. However, it
might be better to add these flags to files.conf. This is a short
term fix to fix the broken builds on my machine (I don't have a valid
/sys link).
3ware's 9xxx series controllers. This corresponds to
the 9.2 release (for FreeBSD 5.2.1) on the 3ware website.
Highlights of this release are:
1. The driver has been re-architected to use a "Common Layer"
(all tw_cl* files), which is a consolidation of all OS-independent
parts of the driver. The FreeBSD OS specific portions of the
driver go into an "OS Layer" (all tw_osl* files).
This re-architecture is to achieve better maintainability, consistency
of behavior across OS's, and better portability to new OS's (drivers
for new OS's can be written by just adding an OS Layer that's specific
to the OS, by complying to a "Common Layer Programming Interface" API.
2. The driver takes advantage of multiple processors.
3. The driver has a new firmware image bundled, the new features of which
include Online Capacity Expansion and multi-lun support, among others.
More details about 3ware's 9.2 release can be found here:
http://www.3ware.com/download/Escalade9000Series/9.2/9.2_Release_Notes_Web.pdf
Since the Common Layer is used across OS's, the FreeBSD specific include
path for header files (/sys/dev/twa) is not part of the #include pre-processor
directive in any of the source files. For being able to integrate twa into
the kernel despite this, Makefile.<arch> has been changed to add the include
path to CFLAGS.

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.
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha
(PROFLEVEL) to kern.pre.mk so that it is easier to manage. Bumped config
version to match.
Moved the check for cputype being configured to a less bogus place in
mkmakefile.c.
It doesn't actually do it yet though. This adds a flag to config so
that we can exclude certain vendor files from this even when the rest
of the kernel has it on. make -DNO_WERROR would also bypass all of it.
new files: kern.pre.mk, which contains most of the definitions, and
kern.post.mk, which contains most of the rules.
I've tested this on i386 and pc98. I have had feedback on the sparc64
port, but no reports from anybody on alpha, ia64 or powerpc. I
appologize in advance if I've broken you.

Only change kern.bootfile from ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}/${KERNEL_KO}
to ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}.old/${KERNEL_KO}, and only when we're renaming
a booted ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}/${KERNEL_KO} kernel.
Small tweaks to kldxref may be necessary to avoid the surprising (but harm-
less) behaviour of 'kldload foo' loading foo.ko.debug instead of foo.ko if
it is present in the kernel directory.
