The following patch: http://www.freebsd.org/~attilio/x86.diff starts the effort for having a shared sub-tree between amd64 and ia32. In this initial pass I putted the low-hanging fruits (bios/cpufreq) and what my customer was more interested in (isa/*) in order to kick-off the effort and, in the future, move gradually the code there. With the machine/isa/* cleanup about 10 files are trimmed and I'm sure more can be achieved easilly. There are few things to discuss. One, that I had not necessity to dig about still, is about how to organize headers (include/). Maybe some replication ala pc98 may be good. The patch is big but it is mostly added and removed files (look at the files.X in order to understand better how files movements happened). Hope to see comments and reviews.
