Hi Petri,

I think the reason I left the PRs at the stage they are, is noted in
the state change comments in the PRs themselves. In short

Right. I suspect it is some spl problem, as writing MSDOS bit format requires
listening to the disk index interupt, but my quick try didn't work.

See there. IMO, it _should_ boot, It just doesn't. The pmap needs to be 
rewritten to be more robust. Thats why it is suspended.

Try the problem yourself, first.

We have no formal mechanism to merge PRs.

If you really want to know: When I ever manage to write bus_dma for Amiga,
I'll try to merge the bus_space/dma sbic driver in some port-arm32 PR, test it
and switch to it. Then I'll try to find out what the problem is.

Didn't notice. "yes, it faile a couple of weeks ago, no change, no time 
to mentally run the exception handlers in Amiga".

Whether gcc has been fixed is irrelevant for the problem. If the cpu allows
it at all, no user program, however broken, should crash the system. 

No, I didn't try recently.

Note "always". I don't think it is fixed. At least nobody fixed it. You're 
free to investigate, if you have the hardware and the Amiga hardware reference
manual (I lot mine).
