In message <001401c29ffd$c299d940$0d00a8c0@paq5>, you write: 

-> Please check RM7000 too.   Algor Ltd's PMON source codes might help as well.

Will take a look; I imagine the problem cannot be too hard to fix, I just
have not had the time to actually look at the code and play with it (even
if I've spent time writing and thinking about it 8-).

-> It's regretful to see that processor documents (User Manual, Application
-> Notes, ...) once available online are withdrawn due to product EOL.  
-> IDT/QED used to be a good source, but apparently some (many, indeed)
-> are not available anymore.

Hmm, although I'm not totally in love with PMC-Sierra's policy on needing
to register before giving out any docs, I thought they still has obsolete
product into online (I only got the Rm52xx docs fairly recently).  Though
I guess that's a sample size of one, which proves nothing either way 8-)

If documentation for older parts are being withdrawn, that is too bad;
it makes running NetBSD on certain hardware quite hard (the example I
can think of are the Western Digital WD33C93 and esp. '95, which seem
to have no extand documentation...), and the space to host such docs
really cannot be so prohibitive as to make it troublesome to keep..
