 1.1 26-Jan-2011  pooka branches: 1.1.2;
Add support for the Extensible MIPS ("eMIPS") platform. The
NetBSD/emips port runs on Xilinx and Beecube FPGA systems and the
Giano system simulator.

eMIPS is a platform developed at Microsoft Research for researching
reconfigurable computing. eMIPS allows dynamic loading and scheduling
of application-specific circuits for the purpose of accelerating
computations based on the current workload.

NetBSD eMIPS support for NetBSD 4.x was written at Microsoft Research
by Alessandro Forin and Neil Pittman. Microsoft Corporation has
donated full copyright to The NetBSD Foundation.

Platform support for eMIPS is the first part of Microsoft's
contribution. The second part includes the hardware accelerator
framework and will be proposed on tech-kern soon.

Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.

XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...

Remove reference to a 14 year old IP address for ftp.NetBSD.org.
This is not a joke.
--
mention etcupdate and reorder a bit
--
first pass de-suckification for 2015. modernize content a bit, fix dirty
rotten lies, improve wording, sync legalese with reality, yada yada yada.
--
This product includes software developed by Yasushi Yamasaki.
--
- update upgrade issues:
+ ARM ABI change
+ new users
+ new groups
- add modules set where missing
- formatting improvements
- note that rtsol{,d} will be gone in the future
- fix raw partition info
- update sparc64 hardware support
- remove note about sparc SMP support being broken
- update some size requirements (still lots of ancient bogus RAM
minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes
--
finish removing the set size stuff, which was thrown out four years ago.
--
merge port-specific legal sections into the common file. most of these
entries were already in the common file, and it's a pain to maintain
them separately.
--
don't look for now-gone sparc/legal
--
restore rcsid accidentally deleted in previous
--
bah. this time without a typo.

both in .more and .html output (still a bit odd, but better than before IMHO).

Add support for the Extensible MIPS ("eMIPS") platform. The
NetBSD/emips port runs on Xilinx and Beecube FPGA systems and the
Giano system simulator.

eMIPS is a platform developed at Microsoft Research for researching
reconfigurable computing. eMIPS allows dynamic loading and scheduling
of application-specific circuits for the purpose of accelerating
computations based on the current workload.

NetBSD eMIPS support for NetBSD 4.x was written at Microsoft Research
by Alessandro Forin and Neil Pittman. Microsoft Corporation has
donated full copyright to The NetBSD Foundation.

Platform support for eMIPS is the first part of Microsoft's
contribution. The second part includes the hardware accelerator
framework and will be proposed on tech-kern soon.

Add support for the Extensible MIPS ("eMIPS") platform. The
NetBSD/emips port runs on Xilinx and Beecube FPGA systems and the
Giano system simulator.

eMIPS is a platform developed at Microsoft Research for researching
reconfigurable computing. eMIPS allows dynamic loading and scheduling
of application-specific circuits for the purpose of accelerating
computations based on the current workload.

NetBSD eMIPS support for NetBSD 4.x was written at Microsoft Research
by Alessandro Forin and Neil Pittman. Microsoft Corporation has
donated full copyright to The NetBSD Foundation.

Platform support for eMIPS is the first part of Microsoft's
contribution. The second part includes the hardware accelerator
framework and will be proposed on tech-kern soon.

 1.2 27-May-2011  tsutsui - move "MD instructions on setting up boot media"
from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
into MD xfer files so that developers can see
what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability

XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files
