2
3To do list (not in any particular order).
4
5    o	Move the RO and WIRED attribute from the pte to the pv table.
6	This saves four instructions in the tlb miss handler.
7
8    o   Boot. Standalone boot program instead of booting the kernel directly?
9
10    o   Find out why bitmap load to S3-928 flashes screen. (X server)
11	Know why (enable linear mode). Need S3 info.
12
13    o   Can we have 32 double registers?
14
15    o	64bit kernel/userland
16
17    o	repair DeskStation and Algor support
18
19	-   64bit device physical address space for Tyne (see OpenBSD pmap.c)
20
21	-   requires bus_dma
22
23    o	source code structure is quite obsolete,
24	general clean up is needed as nisimura-san suggested.
25	especially:
26
27 	-   introduce struct platform and remove ugly ``switch (cputype)''
28	    in many places.
29
30	-   redesign interrupt handler framework to be flexible for
31	    possible variations; must be sane and useful for R4030/R4230
32	    'local' devices and any combinations with ISA/EISA/PCI
33
34	-   implement and use bus_dma, keeping in mind TLB assisted VDMA
35	    that R4030/R4230 chip provides
36
37	-   clean up bus_space implementation, remove inb/outb
38
39	-   try to interporate HZ; may be possible for R4030/R4230 system
40	    or 'hardclock() by R4000' system.  Clock resolution of 100Hz
41	    without any interporation is substandard
42
43    o	fix kernel start address
44
45    o	merge new wscons
46
47    o	parse ARC BIOS configuration information and use it
48
49    o	omit __BROKEN_CONFIG_UNIT_USAGE
50
51    o	omit __SWAP_BROKEN in <mips/types.h>
52
53    o	fix implementation of DELAY(), clean up clock implementation
54
55    o	asc.c scsi clock/NCR53CF94 handling clean up
56
57    o	if_sn.c ether address handling clean up
58
59    o	com_lbus.c clock handling clean up
60
61    o	implement NCR 53c700(?) driver for NEC RISCserver 2200
62	based on amiga siop driver?
63
64    o	audio driver
65
66    o	use MI driver
67
68	-   use MI ncr53c9x driver instead of home grown asc
69
70	-   use MI bha driver instead of home grown btl
71
72	-   make sonic driver MI, and share it with mac68k, newsmips/apbus
73
74	-   make fd driver MI, and share it with i386
75	    (contact christos about MI fd driver)
76
77	-   make pccons MI, and share it with i386,
78	    or simply eliminate pccons
79
80	-   LKM
81
82    o	ARC boot device name -> NetBSD root device conversion
83
84    o	and missing MI devices
85		ses?, lkm, vcoda, ...
86
87    o	way to specify serial console
88
89    o resolve "XXX"
90
91Lots of other things.....
