2021-04-25	kernel: clean up Mach structure	cinap_lenrek
	Remove unused fields and factor common fields into a new PMach struct in port/portdat.h. The fields machno, splpc and proc are not moved to PMach as they are part of the known offsets from assembly (l.s).
2018-02-11	kernel: move devether and wifi to port/	cinap_lenrek
	the only architecture dependence of devether was enabling interrupts, which is now done at the end of the driver's reset() function now. the wifi stack and dummy ethersink also go to port/. do the IRQ2->IRQ9 hack for pc kernels in intrenabale(), so not every caller of intrenable() has to be aware of it.
2017-11-04	kernel: introduce per process FPU struct (PFPU) for more flexible machine ↵	cinap_lenrek
	specific fpu handling introducing the PFPU structue which allows the machine specific code some flexibility on how to handle the FPU process state. for example, in the pc and pc64 kernel, the FPsave structure is arround 512 bytes. with avx512, it could grow up to 2K. instead of embedding that into the Proc strucutre, it is more effective to allocate it on first use of the fpu, as most processes do not use simd or floating point in the first place. also, the FPsave structure has special 16 byte alignment constraint, which further favours dynamic allocation. this gets rid of the memmoves in pc/pc64 kernels for the aligment. there is also devproc, which is now checking if the fpsave area is actually valid before reading it, avoiding debuggers to see garbage data. the Notsave structure is gone now, as it was not used on any machine.
2017-03-11	kernel: get rid of active.Lock and active.thunderbirdsargo	cinap_lenrek

2016-01-05	kernel: change active.machs from bitmap to char array to support up to 64 ↵	cinap_lenrek
	cpus on pc64
2015-11-30	kernel: cleanup exit()/shutdown()/reboot() code	cinap_lenrek
	introduce cpushutdown() function that does the common operation of initiating shutdown, returning once all cpu's got the message and are about to shutdown. this avoids duplicated code which isnt really machine specific. automatic reboot on panic only when *debug= is not set and the machine is a cpu server or has no display, otherwise just hang.
2015-04-02	sgi: keyboard, mouse and cursor for indy	cinap_lenrek

2015-04-01	sgi: very primitive newport graphics driver for indy	cinap_lenrek

2015-03-28	sgi: work in progress kernel for sgi mips machines (only tested with r5k indy)	cinap_lenrek
	this provides basic console support using the ARC bios routines theu uartarcs driver. and has native seeq ethernet driver which was written by reading the 2ed devseq driver as i have no documentation on the hardware. mmu and trap code is based on the routerboard kernel.
