     kernel startup procedure.

     intio driver manages the internal I/O space of hp300.

           ·   Address range management to avoid confliction of address space
               of which devices probe by touching hardware port is difficult.

           ·   Interrupt vector management.

           ·   bus_space(9) and bus_dma(9) implementation.
