In fact I did describe it in another mail.
And the problem is that macppc sets up its console extremely early.
If I move
consinit() after uvm_init() then debugging uvm_init() problems
becomes a lot
harder and as I said before, the parts that need uvm to be up and
running are
strictly optional, we only need to know wether we can use them or
not.
You could also do what I did on sparc64: early on attach an OFW
console
and replace it with the real console during the device probe.
I think macppc had an OF console at some point ( there's code that
looks like it ), I have no idea why it hasn't been used at least since
1.6. I'd almost bet there are different weirdnesses with different
versions of Apple's OF even with simple character output though.
Either way, the early rasops console works fine and the problem has
been solved ( pass a flag that tells rasops not to allocate any
memory ) - I was just looking for something simpler that doesn't need
changes all over the place.
have fun
