Gentlemen,

Right now, the mountroot prompt doesn't work on Atmel CPUs. Almost all =
the characters are eaten. I recently committed an elegant fix for this =
into head to mask the interrupt for new characters and only do polling.

However, it touched the base uart. In an abundance of caution, the re@ =
has asked me to see if I can come up with a fix w/o that.

A less elegant, less functional fix can be found at =
http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/at91-mountroot-10.diff

This fix defers turning on the RXRDY bit in the interrupt mask until we =
get the first interrupt after the first opening of the device. This is =
sufficient for mountroot> to work, but wouldn't fix things like GELI =
that prompt the user from the kernel. I think that's acceptable for 10.0 =
given the typical use case for atmel.

Can the folks here that know Atmel take a look at the patch and let me =
know what you think?

Warner
