o All of the Q&A entries in this section were i386-specific, so make
these conditional on building for that platform. If
non-i386-platforms need similar Q&A lists, they can add their own to
this file.
o Coalesce the two Q&A sections into one.
o Correct some device names (wd(4) devices have not existed for quite
some time).
o Get rid of a number of obsolete entries (suggested by jhb).
sysctls to MI code; this reduces code duplication and makes all of them
available on sparc64, and the latter two on powerpc.
The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.
- Remove the comments which were justifying this by the fact
that we don't have %q in the kernel, this was probably right
back in time, but we now have %q, and we even have better to
print those types (%j).
is not long long on all archs. (They happen to be long's on 64-bit arch's
and gcc considers that significant enough to warn about it.) These should
probably be uintmax_t but I didn't feel like adding all the extra includes.
these were cosmetic. However, at least two of these changes fix bugs
where a (fake) pointer to a RX descriptor was added to the physical
memory start address with the cast in the wrong place resulting in
rxdesc[pmem_start] instead of (uintptr_t)rxdesc + pmem_start.
of the original AIO request: save and restore the active thread credential
as well as using the file credential, since MAC (and some other bits of
the system) rely on the thread credential instead of/as well as the
file credential. In brief: cache td->td_ucred when the AIO operation
is queued, temporarily set and restore the kernel thread credential,
and release the credential when done. Similar to ktrace credential
management.

take advantage of the fact that the vm object's list of pages is
now ordered to reduce the overhead of finding the desired set of
pages to be mapped. (See revision 1.215 of vm/vm_page.c.)
1. At least some Netra t1 models have PCI buses with no associated
interrupt map, but obviously expect the PCI swizzle to be done with
the interrupt number from the higher level as intpin. In this case,
the mapping also needs to continue at parent bus nodes.
To handle that, add a quirk table based on the "name" property of
the root node to avoid breaking other boxen. This property is now
retrieved and printed at boot.
2. On SPARCengine Ultra AX machines, interrupt numbers are not mapped
at all, and full interrupt numbers (not just INOs) are given in
the interrupt properties. This is more or less cosmetical; the
PCI interrupt numbers would be wrong, but the psycho resource
allocation method would pass the right numbers on anyway.

just limited to the DEVICE_POLLING case. This removes the FXP_RFA_RNRMARK
hack, and replaces it with a softc flag that is used to record when
the handling of a no-resource condition was deferred due to running
out of DEVICE_POLLING cycles. This was tested on -stable, but the
code is essentially the same as in -current. It should only affect
the case where DEVICE_POLLING is defined.
The details of the mechanism behind the crashes are still uncertain
but the most likely cause seems to be some kind of hardware confusion
when the no-resource recovery code is accidentally invoked while
the receiver is still active. This could have happened if the
hardware left the 0x4000 bit of the RFA status word set. The comments
in the commit log for revision 1.142 stating that the driver could
clash with the hardware writing to this status word were not correct.
