New Revision: 342257
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/342257

Log:
  Remove support for running 32-bit kernels on 64-bit hardware.
  
  This was useful in bring up. However, it causes more issues than the
  support is worth (64-bit atomics being chief among them).

+       The XLP config has been removed. We can't support 64-bit atomics in this
+       kernel because it is running in 32-bit mode. XLP users must transition
+       to running a 64-bit kernel (XLP64 or XLPN32).

+       The mips GXEMUL support has been removed from FreeBSD. MALTA* + qemu is
+       the preferred emulator today and we don't need two different ones.

        The old sibyte / swarm / Broadcom BCM1250 support has been
        removed from the mips port.
