This patch is written in parallel with D7769, but it doesn't interfere with it. IMHO, some work should be done to marry them :)

Once the INTRNG regression got ironed out, my thinking around D7769 was:

• Move (bhnd|siba|bcma|)_nexus into sys/mips/broadcom so that we can depend directly on MIPS-specific behavior. There's very little code there, and making it arch-specific simplifies things.
• Split bcm_mipscore.c into bcm_mips (BMIPS32/BMIPS3300) and bcm_mips74k drivers. The BMIPS32/3300 cores use a common register block layout, and are only found on siba(4) devices, whereas the MIPS74K cores are only found on bmca(4) devices.
• Implement the PIC interface in bcm_mips/bcm_mips74k, and allocates 32 IRQs for assignment to bus cores.
• Add a bhnd_nexus implementation of BHND_BUS_ASSIGN_INTR, mapping backplane interrupt vectors (OOBSEL on bcma, sflag# on siba) to those IRQs.
• If necessary, filtering on shared MIPS IRQs can be implemented on by looking at the INTR_STATUS (BMIPS32/BMIPS3300) on siba(4) devices, and the OOB router core's OOB_STATUSA register on bcma(4) devices.

I sketched out some of this here, when I was trying to make sure D7769's API design would work for MIPS: https://github.com/landonf/freebsd/tree/user/landonf/bhnd/7200_bus_intr_mips/sys/mips/broadcom

NP at all, no dep on IRQ :)

As no 33xx bits in bcm_mipscore.c it's easy to rename it to mips74k (excl. 33xx/32 from matching table) and create new driver for 33xx

• Implement the PIC interface in bcm_mips/bcm_mips74k, and allocates 32 IRQs for assignment to bus cores.

Fine, but MIPS74k has few IRQs (6?) according to MIPS specs.

• Add a bhnd_nexus implementation of BHND_BUS_ASSIGN_INTR, mapping backplane interrupt vectors (OOBSEL on bcma, sflag# on siba) to those IRQs.

I can do / test it for BCMA, plz land D7769

I have lack of doc, can you please share knowledge about Out-Of-Band router? Many thanks in advance

Please land this sketches too. :)

Do you mind if I close this as superseded by rS326079?
