        cpu.c cache.c cache.h 
Log Message:
Re-write of CPU/MMU detection code.

Use a table driven classification based on CPU and MMU implementation/version
fields. Each CPU class or module defines a collection of routines that
implement CPU or MMU specific operations that can collect detailed setup
information.

All information is collected in a `cpu_softc' structure provided by the
auto-configuration code. However, in the interest of SMP support this
structure is located at a fixed virtual address identified by the
symbol `cpuinfo'. The `boot' CPU currently uses the the physical page(s) at
address 0x2000 for its cpuinfo. Consequently, the fixed virtual address
will be `KERNBASE+0x2000'.

The cache flush routines for several systems (sun4/4c vs. sun4m;
virtual vs. physical tags) have been factored out. Function pointers
to an appropriate set are located in `cpuinfo'. The former global
`cacheinfo' structure is now also a part of `cpuinfo'. Because of the
fixed virtual address of `cpuinfo' no extra performance penalties
are incurred by this move. In multi-architecture kernels, there's
no longer the need for run-time `cputyp' tests in this part of the system.
