the 'load_irix_binary' and having kernel faults, Irix support is
disabled. I suspect locking of some sort, but I will now have to
investigate further.
Static IRIX binaries are now being detected properly and are using the
ELF interpreter found in this file.

binutils are broken and don't warn about this use of $at even though
gas is in .set noat mode so this for now is an accident waiting to
happen.

Patch from Kenneth Tan
Defining IXP46X peripheral devices memory mapping definitions that have
been missed out:
o Peripheral virtual base address is being adjusted to allow more headroom to add extra peripheral device addresses
o Peripheral size is being increased to address the above needs
o Virtual address of expansion bus and PCI configuration register needs to be adjusted as new peripheral device memory space is overlapping with their virtual address space

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
Introduce ixp2000_reg_wrb, which is a variant of ixp2000_reg_write
that does a readback from the target register, to make sure that
the write has been flushed out of the write buffer.
Unlike the previous (ineffective) readback in ixp2000_reg_write, this
readback is followed by an instruction that depends on the value of
the readback so that the CPU actually stalls until the readback has
completed.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The workaround that we do for avoiding triggering ixp2400 erratum #66
involves mapping I/O pages using XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 so that we
prevent the I/O signal to the gasket from being asserted (which can
cause data corruption.) But XCB=101 mappings are write-buffered while
mappings using XCB=000 are not, which is why if we use XCB=101 mappings
we do a readback for every CSR store in an attempt to make sure that
the store has been pushed out of the xscale core and the gasket.
Unfortunately, there are two issues with this:
- we do a readback for every CSR store, which is wrong, because the
register we are writing to might have unwanted side-effects on read,
for example, in the case of the scratchpad ring enqueue/dequeue
registers; and
- the readback is totally ineffective in the way we currently do it,
because we just issue a load but do not issue any instruction that
depends on the return value of that load, so the xscale core does
not wait for the load to complete before continuing.
See this linux-arm-kernel mailing list post for further information:
http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2005-September/031314.html
This means that my ixp2400 boxes have been running for many months
without a working readback in ixp2000_reg_write, without any apparent
adverse effects. Two of them have been running for a week now with
the actual readback deleted from ixp2000_reg_write, also without any
apparent ill effects.
So, because in its current form it does more harm than good, the
readback in ixp2000_reg_write should simply be killed, as the patch
below does.

Since the machine information structures are now static, the
compiler might optimise them away. Mark them with
__attribute_used__ to prevent this occuring.
