I really should have been taking notes all the while, but I suck.  sorry.
bear in mind also that I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm just faking
it.  But here's what I've found:

below this block of code, there is a block wherein HZ is defined.  move this
block up.

substitute reg for var (i.e. xcfbreg.h)

I believe you can safely remove the include statement for these two (then
again, I'm compiling for a maxine, not a 3100.

lk201.h seems to work instead.

I believe all of these have a *reg.h counterpart.

dunno about this.

right now the only unresolved reference I have left is a call to 
cpu_identify().  I cannot find this anywhere.  I've looked in the tarfile I 
made of what was left of my last attempt at a kernel and it wasn't there.  
the only reference to it is the template:
  extern void cpu_identify __P((void));
and the call:

cpuattach(parent, dev, aux)
        struct device *parent;
        struct device *dev;
        void *aux;
{
        printf("\n");
        printf(": ");
        cpu_identify();
}

any help would be much appreciated.  I'm sorry that I'm so sketchy on details.
if it would help, I would be willing to wipe out /usr/src/sys, pull down the
latest tarballs, and (with some help from someone who actually knows what they
are doing) try to determine where exactly there are inconsistencies.
