2. Add OF_getprop_alloc(), a helper function that will malloc() a sufficient
amount of memory and then retrieve a property value into it.

of English.
The critical messages and error messages in probe/attach routine are
unchanged by this commit.
but time and other interests is making it hard. Open the door for
new blood and fresh tactics now that the Linuxulator has had its
facelift.
Thanks to all who contributed during my tour of duty!
in asm files.
2. Temporarily cause subnormal operands in floating point operations
to be treated as zeros so that comlpetion of the operation does not
need to be emulated.
3. Catch fp_exception_other and correctly skip over the unfinished
instruction, but basically ignore them. Emulating the instruction
is not yet supported.
4. Zero td_retval[1] as well in syscall().

2. Add a TF_DONE macro, which fiddles a trapframe to make the retry on
return from traps act like a done (advance past the trapping
instruction instead of re-executing).
3. Flush the windows before entering the debugger, since it is no
longer done in the breakpoint trap vector.
4. Print a warning if trace <pid> is attempted, it is not yet implemented.
5. Print traps better and decode system calls in traces.

to determine if a process is using floating point. in order to avoid
sign extending a 13 bit immediate.
2. We don't need to context switch cwp anymore, it is better to just
fiddle the save tstate on return from traps. See exception.s 1.10
and 1.12.
3. Completely remove pcb_cwp.
4. Implement vmapbuf, vunmapbuf and vm_fault_quick. Completely remove
TODOs from vm_machdep.c (yay!).

space from kernel space and from an alternate address space to kernel
space.
2. Remove the unused and unprototyped physcopy() and physzero() and replace
with the more versatile ascopy() and aszero(), inspired by the above.
These can be used to copy and zero physical pages of memory without mapping
them into kernel space first.
3. Use magic numbers for the offsets in the jmpbuf structure like other
platforms.
4. Use SET.

in the window trap vectors were mixed up. All this did is cause unnecesary
traps and look wierd in traces. Superfluous traps happen a lot in normal
operation, so we are rather good at recovering from them.
2. Store the arguments for a ktr trace in the right place.
3. Use a generic trap vector for breakpoints. It should not be special.
4. Save the frame pointer in the trap frame for kernel traps if DDB is compiled
in, otherwsie we don't save the out registers for kernel traps and stack
traces can't go through nested traps.
5. Apply the same fix to the return from kernel mode trap code as for user
mode traps. Ensure that the window we're returning to is the same one
that we restore to by fiddling the cwp in the saved tstate. This requires
that we transfer the values loaded from the trap frame into alternate
globals before restore-ing, but doing so is not very expensive and not
worth worrying about. Not changing the saved cwp can result in the register
values magically changing on return from traps if we happen to have slept
and the windows don't work out exactly the same. Fix the trace just before
the retry to account for different register usage.
6. Use a SET macro for loading address constants rather than a variation of
set and setx. set only works for 32 bit constants, while setx works for
64 bit constants as well, but produces bloated code when unnecessary.
Gas always generates the canonical 2 register, 6 instruction form, even
when it could be optimized; set uses 1 register and 2 instructions. At
the moment we assume that the kernel binary is below 4GB so set is
always sufficient, but the macro allows it to be configured. Note that
this has nothing to do with 32 vs. 64 bit address space, it only applies
to addresses of symbols which are known at compile/link time.

time in the cases where it really sends the drive out to lunch, but it also
allows us to catch very wierd edge cases of strange drives that might take
a very long time (emulated disk drives over a network, e.g.).
vnodes. This will hopefully serve as a base from which we can
expand the MP code. We currently do not attempt to obtain any
mutex or SX locks, but the door is open to add them when we nail
down exactly how that part of it is going to work.
alpha pmap. In particular -
- pd_entry_t and pt_entry_t are now u_int32_t instead of a pointer.
This is to enable cleaner PAE and x86-64 support down the track sor
that we can change the pd_entry_t/pt_entry_t types to 64 bit entities.
- Terminate "unsigned *ptep, pte" with extreme prejudice and use the
correct pt_entry_t/pd_entry_t types.
- Various other cosmetic changes to match cleanups elsewhere.
- This eliminates a boatload of casts.
- use VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS in place of UPT_MIN_ADDRESS in a couple of places
where we're testing user address space limits. Assuming the page tables
start directly after the end of user space is not a safe assumption.
There is still more to go.
