[reposting to -arch, where it is better] Hello! I recently wanted to port the if_ed driver to alpha. FreeBSD/alpha still misses kvtop(), so I implemented it. However, bde told me, that the whole function kvtop() is wrong, since "0" is a legitimate physical address and therefore the panic is misplaced. That means, kvtop() is obsolete. Before I continue porting the driver, I'd like to have this issue resolved. Please take a look at this (kinda old) patch: - Remove pmap_kextract from pmap.h for alpha and add it to pmap.c - remove pmap_kextract from vm_machdep.c for i386 and add it to pmap.c - change all kvtop() to pmap_kextract() in the src. http://people.freebsd.org/~alex/remove-kvtop.diff I received no further comments about this patch from bde, and dillon didn't answer to an email concerning this.
