Please, please don't intentionally break other architectures. Esp ones that actually work, like alpha. Its basically just mechanical changes up until this point, right? You've carved up the proc struct & ranamed some things, right? I'd really appreciate it if you could make the mechanical changes required to get it to the point where it at least compiles on alpha using beast.freebsd.org. At that point, the people on -alpha should be willing to test your patch and help fix any problems that come up.
