The goal here is that every architecture's hardware list should only contain hardware that's explicitly supported for that platform; no entry should exist "by default". (Many of the NICs, SCSI controllers, etc. listed in the Alpha hardware list were left over from its i386 origins.) Source material for these changes were wilko's Alpha notes, the -alpha mailing list archives, and alpha kernel configurations I could find. I did a quick sanity check by building a (embryonic) ia64 hardware list. It's a little long for the mailing lists, so I've put a proposed diff, plus PDF and HTML renderings at: http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/alpha/ Comments appreciated. If there's no major problems, I should be able to get all of these (and related changes) MFC-ed in time for 4.5-RELEASE.
