i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
Approved by: core
for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

* Update drivers to the latest version of the bus interface.
The ISA drivers' use of the new resource api is minimal. Garrett has
some much cleaner drivers which should be more easily shared between
i386 and alpha. This has only been tested on cia based machines. It
should work on lca and apecs but I might have broken something.
routines are necessary to allow the use of certain types of hardware on
the alpha, particularly a Myrinet card.

address for the LCA PCI configuration register address.
FreeBSD/Alpha now boots on the NoName (aka AXPpci 33, Alpha PC), and probably
also on the Multia (mine hasn't arrived yet, so I can't tell for sure).
