 Our new imaginary board will also have to tie into the machvec in order for it

-done for the machvec assignment.
+to be of any use.
 
 machvec functions fall into a number of categories:
 
  - I/O functions to IO memory (inb etc) and PCI/main memory (readb etc).
- - I/O remapping functions (ioremap etc)
- - some initialisation functions
- - a 'heartbeat' function
- - some miscellaneous flags
-
-The tree can be built in two ways:
- - as a fully generic build. All drivers are linked in, and all functions
-   go through the machvec
- - as a machine specific build. In this case only the required drivers
-   will be linked in, and some macros may be redefined to not go through
-   the machvec where performance is important (in particular IO functions).
-
-There are three ways in which IO can be performed:
- - none at all. This is really only useful for the 'unknown' machine type,
-   which us designed to run on a machine about which we know nothing, and
-   so all all IO instructions do nothing.
- - fully custom. In this case all IO functions go to a machine specific
-   set of functions which can do what they like
- - a generic set of functions. These will cope with most situations,
-   and rely on a single function, mv_port2addr, which is called through the
-   machine vector, and converts an IO address into a memory address, which
-   can be read from/written to directly.
-
-Thus adding a new machine involves the following steps (I will assume I am
-adding a machine called vapor):
-
- - add a new file include/asm-sh/vapor/io.h which contains prototypes for
+ - I/O mapping functions (ioport_map, ioport_unmap, etc).
+ - a 'heartbeat' function.
+ - PCI and IRQ initialization routines.
+ - Consistent allocators (for boards that need special allocators,
+   particularly for allocating out of some board-specific SRAM for DMA
+   handles).
+
+There are machvec functions added and removed over time, so always be sure to
+consult include/asm-sh/machvec.h for the current state of the machvec.
+
+The kernel will automatically wrap in generic routines for undefined function
+pointers in the machvec at boot time, as machvec functions are referenced
+unconditionally throughout most of the tree. Some boards have incredibly
+sparse machvecs (such as the dreamcast and sh03), whereas others must define
+virtually everything (rts7751r2d).
+
+Adding a new machine is relatively trivial (using vapor as an example):
+
+If the board-specific definitions are quite minimalistic, as is the case for
+the vast majority of boards, simply having a single board-specific header is
+sufficient.
+
+ - add a new file include/asm-sh/vapor.h which contains prototypes for
    any machine specific IO functions prefixed with the machine name, for
    example vapor_inb. These will be needed when filling out the machine
    vector.
 
-   This is the minimum that is required, however there are ample
-   opportunities to optimise this. In particular, by making the prototypes
-   inline function definitions, it is possible to inline the function when
-   building machine specific versions. Note that the machine vector
-   functions will still be needed, so that a module built for a generic
-   setup can be loaded.
-
- - add a new file arch/sh/boards/vapor/mach.c. This contains the definition
-   of the machine vector. When building the machine specific version, this
-   will be the real machine vector (via an alias), while in the generic
-   version is used to initialise the machine vector, and then freed, by
-   making it initdata. This should be defined as:
-
-     struct sh_machine_vector mv_vapor __initmv = {
-       .mv_name = "vapor",
-     }
-     ALIAS_MV(vapor)
-
- - finally add a file arch/sh/boards/vapor/io.c, which contains
-   definitions of the machine specific io functions.
-
-A note about initialisation functions. Three initialisation functions are
-provided in the machine vector:
- - mv_arch_init - called very early on from setup_arch
- - mv_init_irq - called from init_IRQ, after the generic SH interrupt
-   initialisation
- - mv_init_pci - currently not used
-
-Any other remaining functions which need to be called at start up can be
-added to the list using the __initcalls macro (or module_init if the code
-can be built as a module). Many generic drivers probe to see if the device
-they are targeting is present, however this may not always be appropriate,
-so a flag can be added to the machine vector which will be set on those
-machines which have the hardware in question, reducing the probe to a
-single conditional.
+   Note that these prototypes are generated automatically by setting
+   __IO_PREFIX to something sensible. A typical example would be:
+
+	#define __IO_PREFIX vapor
+   	#include <asm/io_generic.h>
+
+   somewhere in the board-specific header. Any boards being ported that still
+   have a legacy io.h should remove it entirely and switch to the new model.
+
+ - Add machine vector definitions to the board's setup.c. At a bare minimum,
+   this must be defined as something like:
+
+	struct sh_machine_vector mv_vapor __initmv = {
+		.mv_name = "vapor",
+	};
+	ALIAS_MV(vapor)
+
+ - finally add a file arch/sh/boards/vapor/io.c, which contains definitions of
+   the machine specific io functions (if there are enough to warrant it).

+	Notes on register bank usage in the kernel
+	==========================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The SH-3 and SH-4 CPU families traditionally include a single partial register
+bank (selected by SR.RB, only r0 ... r7 are banked), whereas other families
+may have more full-featured banking or simply no such capabilities at all.
+
+SR.RB banking
+-------------
+
+In the case of this type of banking, banked registers are mapped directly to
+r0 ... r7 if SR.RB is set to the bank we are interested in, otherwise ldc/stc
+can still be used to reference the banked registers (as r0_bank ... r7_bank)
+when in the context of another bank. The developer must keep the SR.RB value
+in mind when writing code that utilizes these banked registers, for obvious
+reasons. Userspace is also not able to poke at the bank1 values, so these can
+be used rather effectively as scratch registers by the kernel.
+
+Presently the kernel uses several of these registers.
+
+	- r0_bank, r1_bank (referenced as k0 and k1, used for scratch
+	  registers when doing exception handling).
+	- r2_bank (used to track the EXPEVT/INTEVT code)
+		- Used by do_IRQ() and friends for doing irq mapping based off
+		  of the interrupt exception vector jump table offset
+	- r6_bank (global interrupt mask)
+		- The SR.IMASK interrupt handler makes use of this to set the
+		  interrupt priority level (used by local_irq_enable())
+	- r7_bank (current)
+
