Dumb question, how do we add an indirection to openpic_write and
openpic_read ?
They do not accept any kind of this pointer or context.
Change interface or use global function pointers which can be set in
setup_openpic ?

Here's something that at least works on my iBook G4. The G5's OpenPIC
is found but that's about it ( I was more concerned to keep it working
on 32bit hardware ) - needs more work before it can be committed ( no
fastpath, other openpic variants in pic/ need to be adapted etc. ) but
it adds what's needed to deal with a big endian OpenPIC.

Thanks.
The pic_openpic.c won't work properly on G5.
We need a new PIC module which uses the available OpenPIC framework
but implements extra U3 HT workarounds or add these workarounds to
pic_openpic.c maybe, not sure what is better. I got it working already
but i have to refactor it and make it ready to be commited.
It would be better of course if BE changes were already commited
before i implement it.

Exactly, that's why I posted the patch even though it's unfinished and
poorly tested - to make sure it does what's needed and to avoid
reinventing the wheel.

have fun

I have got a question.
I have to map some I/O address space while intializing PIC controller to reset it. But mapiodev panics in pmap_pvo_to_pte with the message
"pvo pte does not match pte in pmap_pteg_table". Am i not allowed to
use mapiodev that early ?

Thanks
