I appreciate the though, but I am rather capable of handling the DPT part.
Why outl panics on a ``lie'' is a bit beyond my immediate knowledge.
I narrowed down the failure to line 467 in sys/alpha/bus.h which simply
says:
outl(bsh + offset, value);
In turn, outl is really a bizzare thing; In chipset.h we find:
typedef void alpha_chipset_outl_t(u_int32_t port,
u_int32_t data);
Later, in the same file, there is a structure called alpha_chipset:
typedef struct alpha_chipset {
/*
* I/O port access
*/
alpha_chipset_inb_t* inb;
alpha_chipset_inw_t* inw;
alpha_chipset_inl_t* inl;
alpha_chipset_outb_t* outb;
alpha_chipset_outw_t* outw;
alpha_chipset_outl_t* outl;
...
void*
} alpha_chipset_t;
extern alpha_chipset_t chipset;
Now, in sys/alpha/alpha/machdep.c there is a global declaration:
alpha_chipset_t chipset;
I tried to find references to chipset elsewhere, but there is none. It
must be that it is initialized by some black magin in the boot process.
I am quite certain that the function pointer outl in chipset is bogus, or
points to a function other than outl, or the function it points to takes
different arguments than specified in the source.
I hope for someone who already knows the mysteries of the chipsets to come
to my rescue...

I have two; Source is on a PW 433au. The panics are on some no name
Motherboard in a box. Here is the dmesg top portion. Interesting how the
panic form te PREVIOUS boot is there in the buffer. How do they do that?
machine/bus.h.467
machine/bus.h.473
fatal kernel trap:
trap entry = 0x4 (unaligned access fault)

a2 = 0x11

ra = 0xfffffc000034f958
curproc = 0
ddbprinttrap(0xfffffca900010192, 0x2c, 0x11, 0x4)
panic: trap
panic
Rebooting...
