<p>The SoftIron Overdrive 3000 is an ARMv8 based server with an
8-core AMD Opteron A1100 processor. The Overdrive 3000 has
two 10Gbase-T ethernet ports, two PCI Express ports, and eight
SATA ports. &os; has been updated to be able to boot on this
hardware.</p>
<p>Support for the SATA device was added to the
<tt>ahci(4)</tt> driver. Unlike on x86, this is a Memory Mapped
(mmio) device, and not on the PCI bus. To support this, a new
ahci mmio driver attachment has been added.</p>
<p>The generic PCIe driver has been updated to improve interrupt
handling. This includes supporting the interrupt-map devicetree
property, and supporting MSI and MSI-X interrupts on arm64.</p>
<p>Support for MSI and MSI-X interrupts has been added to the ARM
Generic Interrupt Controller v2 (gicv2) driver. This allows devices
to use these interrupts. This has been tested with a collection
of PCIe NIC hardware.</p>
