Today's news. My checkout of mips2 has been hacked to use CFE for probing memory regions and console i/o instead of uart(4). This now works. The CFE arena is preserved by FreeBSD on boot, and the correct amount of onboard memory is detected. The reason I stopped using uart(4) is because the backplane bus will occupy the entire region on nexus for itself -- Siba is going to need that region to allocate rman regions for uart as a child device. I will most likely try porting the SiliconBackplane bus enumeration that's in bleeding-edge brcm support for Linux 2.6, which is much cleaner than the Broadcom code floating around, not to mention closer to NEWBUS in architecture.
