The NetBSD changes in AFS are mostly non-processor specific. The
processor-specific assembly code is in the user libraries for
lightweight processes. It's probably not too hard to take the m68k
assembly portions from, e.g. the NeXT port, and use them directly or
rework them for use under NetBSD.
How about rewriting them "portably" as interfaces to the pthreads code
Chris has been working on for NetBSD and other systems? Or does it
require non-pre-emptive scheduling, or something else incompatible?
