See the comments for addupc_intr() and the NetBSD implementation.
We use dummy versions of fuswintr() and susiwintr(), so addupc_intr()
always pushes the work to trap() (this is inefficient), and trap()
calls the special i386 function addupc() instead of addupc_task().
addupc() is more efficient than addupc_intr(), so some of the lost
efficiency is recovered. However, addupc() may be broken on plain
i386's since it doesn't check for write permission like copyout().
Convert the remaining sysctl stuff to the new way of doing things.
the devconf stuff is the reason for the large number of files.
Cleaned up some compiler warnings while I were there.
structs and prototypes for syscalls.
Ifdefed duplicated decentralized declarations of args structs. It's
convenient to have this visible but they are hard to maintain. Some
are already different from the central declarations. 4.4lite2 puts
them in comments in the function headers but I wanted to avoid the
large changes for that.
Submitted by: terry (terry lambert)
This is a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..
NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..
certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)
The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.
