A bit more progress on the header stubbing and whatnot, and so I thought
I'd post my current diffs, and a list of what headers are still unimplemented
in the <machine> namespace (and whatever they need to implement in the
<platform> area), especially as I've been getting more and more email from
people interested in the status of the project.

First off, here's the unimplemented headers expected by either MI code or
the current MD set of headers:
	bus.h clock.h critical.h db_machdep.h elf.h exec.h kse.h limits.h
	md_var.h pcb.h pmap.h ptrace.h reg.h resource.h smp.h stdarg.h

And the diffs can be found at (I'd been trying to mail them to the list,
but it seems they get rejected, oops):
	http://people.freebsd.org/~jmallett/mips-branch.diff.gz

Aside from the stuff in diffs, I'm playing more and more with the GDB
simulator to find out what is possible and what is not possible in it,
and have written a bit of code to abstract rom monitor IO stuff, and
done PMON hacking, and whatnot.  This doesn't much affect the FreeBSD
stuff proper (except well the early boot code/sequence), but it's made
me aware of the fact that it's not very possible to do much in the GDB
simulator, in the way of FreeBSD proper.  Even the open vector bombs
out simulator-side (SIGBUS) making it impossible to even play with e.g.
binary loading.

Oh and since two or three people asked me about IRC, EFnet #freebsd-mips
is a good enough place to catch me, especially to discuss this stuff.
I suppose that'd be a good project discussion IRC channel.

Thanks,
juli.
