Move the device code, even locore, over to sys/arch/sparc. Add the
sun4u-32bit (hypersparc-emulation) support to sys/arch/sparc/conf/GENERIC,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
not sure exactly what this is supposed to mean...
and i'm not sure i ever planned on merging the 32-bit code into sparc's
GENERIC... i'm not sure we'll ever get to the stage where a single
kernel will boot on both. i once hoped for this, well before i learnt
of eeh's code, but it would be insanity i believe.
obliterating sys/arch/sparc64/conf/GENERIC32 (which you seem to have planned
actaully, this is so that we can maintain a single file and be able to build
both 32-bit & 64-bit kernels. conf/GENERIC .includes this file and then adds
the 3 options necessary for 64 bit kernels.
already). All you will have left in sys/arch/sparc64 is a "conf" directory
with "GENERIC", a full LP64 kernel that identifies itself as "sparc64".
actually, i don't mind this all that much.
