I've put some test kernels containing the changed interrupt code
I've been working on, in ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/fvdl/intr/
They are GENERIC, GENERIC_LAPTOP and GENERIC.MPVERBOSE (which is
GENERIC.MP + the MPVERBOSE option) kernels.
I made these available because I want the code to have some more
testing before I check it into the source tree. So far I am the
only one who has tested the code, with one (successful) exception.
I've tested code on multiprocessor, single-processor and laptop
systems, and it's stable on these test systems.
The kernels will spit out a bunch of extra interrupt allocation
info during autoconfig.
Let me know if the kernels do or do not work if you test any
of them. If you find a problem which you are not seeing on
plain -current, include the dmesg output if possible.
MD5 hashes for the bzipped kernels:
MD5 (netbsd.GENERIC.bz2) = 266c8b8f8a00db7a0600337515458874
MD5 (netbsd.GENERIC_LAPTOP.bz2) = 0cd0f614ed5dd5a80c9bded3bf0e78ab
MD5 (netbsd.GENERIC_MPVERBOSE.bz2) = cc99b75abe530d17ce852a659d3ff08d
