I've put a copy of Some unofficial patches contributed by Toru
Nishimura in:
ftp.netbsd.org:~ftp/pub/mips/unofficial-patches/nisimura-patch-1
This patch to the mips1 locore adds some neat stuff, including:
* a change to the exception-hanlding locore glue to vector syscall
traps directly to a syscall handler, rather than going through the
general-purpose exception hanlder in trap.c.
* a port of the "mdb" miniqdebugger
* changes that are intended to start toward eliminating the
double-mapped kernel stack.
* other changes that I've forgotten.
I haven't yet had time to review these and fold them into the tree.
I'd appreciate any feedback; as may Toru Nisimura.
