With this change and previous work from ray@ it will be possible to put
both in GENERIC, and have one enabled by default, but allow the other to
be selected via the loader.
(The previous implementation had separate kern.vt.disable and
hw.syscons.disable tunables, and would panic if both drivers were
compiled in and neither was explicitly disabled.)

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

If a vt(4) font does not exactly fit the screen dimensions, the console
window is offset so that it is centered. A rectangle is drawn at the
top, left, right, and bottom of the screen, to erase any leftovers that
are outside of the new usable console area.
If the x offset or y offset is 0 then the left border or top border
respectively is not drawn. The right and bottom borders may be one
pixel larger than necessary due to rounding, and are always drawn.
Prior to this change a 0 offset would result in a panic when calling
vt_drawrect with an x or y coordinate of -1.

vt_grow may be called with a new size that's larger than previous but
does not require reallocation - for example, when the number of columns
is the same and new number of rows is less than the history size.
Prior to this change we would fail to update vb_scr_size, and then hit
a KASSERT when trying to write to the newly visible rows.

The last obstacle to switching PowerPC entirely to vt is that the Playstation 3
framebuffer driver needs to be ported over. This only applies for powerpc64,
however.
on my G4 iBook by more than half. Still 10% slower than syscons, but that's
much better than a factor of 2.
The slowness had to do with pathological write performance on 8-bit
framebuffers, which are almost universally used on Open Firmware systems.
Writing 1 byte at a time, potentially nonconsecutively, resulted in many
extra PCI write cycles. This patch, in the common case where it's writing
one or several characters in an 8x8 font, gangs the writes together into
a set of 32-bit writes. This is a port of r143830 to vt(4).
The EFI framebuffer is also extremely slow, probably for the same reason,
and the same patch will likely help there.
o Declare vt(4) drivers dataset.
o Create single static structures for all early drivers.
o Add vt(4) to be by default in the kernel consoles list.
o Create one more sysinit point, to be able to initialize memory and lock
requirement of early drivers.
o Implement early drivers select. (Only best available will be selected).
o Fix one missed "return (0)" for VTYLOCK.
o Improve locking for cases when one driver replace another.
o Make driver replacement notification less debug-look-like.

Introduce a new formatting bit (TF_CJK_RIGHT) that is set when putting a
cell that is the right part of a CJK fullwidth character. This will
allow drivers like vt(9) to support fullwidth characters properly.
emaste@ has a patch to extend vt(9)'s font handling to increase the
number of Unicode -> glyph maps from 2 ({normal,bold)} to 4
({normal,bold} x {left,right}). This will need to use this formatting
bit to determine whether to draw the left or right glyph.
