Also fixing a severe bug: the interrupt + mask register on Playstation 2 is bitwise _toggled_ on writes. +20070128 Removing the dummy NetGear machine mode and the 8250 device + (which was only used by the NetGear machine). + Beginning to convert the MacPPC GC (Grand Central) interrupt + controller to the new interrupt system. + Converting Jazz interrupts (PICA61 etc.) to the new interrupt + system. NetBSD/arc can be installed again :-) + Fixing the JAZZ timer (hardcoding it at 100 Hz, works with + NetBSD and it is better than a completely dummy timer as it + was before). + Converting dev_mp to the new interrupt system, although I + haven't had time to actually test it yet. + Completely removing src/machines/interrupts.c, cpu_interrupt + and cpu_interrupt_ack in src/cpu.c, and + src/include/machine_interrupts.h!
