    The whole thing was reorganized months ago and split into 'cpu' and 
    'machine' subhierarchies, and many large bits of i386 were moved entirely
    out of the architecture directories and into machine-independant code
    areas like kern/.

    The only thing actually ported was i386.  The actual i386-specific code
    is now a lot smaller then it was originally.

    All the other architectures are sitting in Attic in their original
    location, e.g. /usr/src/sys/amd64.  You just need to do a dated 
    checkout to pull it back out.  Making it go live again requires porting
    it to the new file layout and getting rid of the pieces that are no
    longer applicable.
