New Revision: 205014
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/205014
Log:
Provide groundwork for 32-bit binary compatibility on non-x86
platforms,
for upcoming 64-bit PowerPC and MIPS support. This renames the
COMPAT_IA32
option to COMPAT_FREEBSD32, removes some IA32-specific code from
MI parts
of the kernel and enhances the freebsd32 compatibility code to
support
big-endian platforms.
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 is an unfortunate choice. It can be easily
interpreted as "compatible with FreeBSD 3.2". Something like
"COMPAT_32BIT" would be more meaningful.
There's a lengthy discussion about this on another mailing list.
This is unlikely to be changed and emailing the committer who provided
valuable time on this code wastes his time and everyone else's.
