l1 I & D VIVT caches 16K each: 4-way, 128 sets, 32-byte lines
7
	l1 D is write-through, l1 I is write-back
8
unified l2 PIPT cache 256K: 4-way, 2048 sets, 32-byte lines
9
	potentially 512K: 8-way

apparently the mmu walks the page tables in dram and won't look in the
12
l2 cache.  there is no hardware cache coherence, thus the l1 caches
13
need to be flushed or invalidated when mmu mappings change, but l2
14
only needs to be flushed or invalidated around dma operations and page
15
table changes, and only the affected dma buffers and descriptors or
16
page table entries need to be flushed or invalidated in l2.
17
 
18
we arrange that device registers are uncached.
19
 
20
be aware that cache operations act on cache lines (of CACHELINESZ
21
bytes) as atomic units, so if you invalidate one word of a cache line,
22
you invalidate the entire cache line, whether it's been written back
23
(is clean) or not (is dirty).  mixed data structures with parts
24
maintained by hardware and other parts by software are especially
25
tricky.  we try to pad the initial hardware parts so that the software
26
parts start in a new cache line.
27
 
28
there are no video controllers so far, so this port is a cpu
29
kernel only.

If you plan to use flash, it would be wise to avoid touching the first
39
megabyte, which contains u-boot, right up to 0x100000.  There's a
40
linux kernel from there to 0x400000, if you care.  You'll also likely
41
want to use paqfs rather than fossil or kfs for file systems in flash
42
since there is no wear-levelling.
43
 
44
The code is fairly heavy-handed with the use of barrier instructions
45
(BARRIERS in assembler, coherence in C), partly in reaction to bad
46
experience doing Power PC ports, but also just as precautions against
47
modern processors, which may feel free to execute instructions out of
48
order or some time later, store to memory out of order or some time
49
later, otherwise break the model of traditional sequential processors,
50
or any combination of the above.
51
 
52
this plan 9 port is based on the port of native inferno to the
53
sheevaplug by Salva Peiró (saoret.one@gmail.com) and Mechiel Lukkien
54
(mechiel@ueber.net).
