we actually use. Originally, the code reserved 0x8000 to 0x80ff inclusive
which on my hardware conflicts with the acpi timer. This broke the amdpm
driver since it was actually given ports 0x800c to 0x810b (which should
not have happened, IMHO).
This also allows us to considerably simplify the handling of the nForce
smb driver, removing the need for a separate nfpm driver. With this, SMB
accesses appear to work on my Tyan Tiger MP board. Your mileage may vary.
In particular, the nForce changes have not been tested.
we can switch to 64M-sized identity mappings and not having to map the
first 64M. This is especially important because the first 1M contains
the VGA frame buffer and is otherwise a legacy memory range. Best to
make as little assumptions about it as possible. Switching to 64M-sized
mappings is important to avoid creating overlapping translations, which
have the side-effect of triggering machine checks. This is currently
what's preventing us to boot on an Intel Tiger 4.
Note that since we currently use 256M-sized identity mappings, we
would reduce the size of the mappings and consequently increase the
TLB pressure. The performance implications of this are minimal if
measurable at all because identify mappings are not our primary
means for memory management.
Also note that there's no guarantee that physical memory exists at
64M. Then again, we didn't had the guarantee when we were loading at
5M. We'll deal with this when it's a problem.

we return to kernel or userland. This triggered a panic in a KSE
application when TDF_USTATCLOCK was set in the case userland was
interrupted, but we never called ast() on our way out. As such,
we called ast() at some other time. Unfortunately, TDF_USTATCLOCK
handling assumes running in the interrupt thread. This was not
the case anymore.
To avoid making the same mistake later, interrupt() now returns
to its caller whether we interrupted userland or not. This avoids
that we have to duplicate the check in assembly, where it's bound
to fall off the scope. Now we simply check the return value and
call ast() if appropriate.

to protect the vlan state in each ifnet (e.g. vlan count). The latter is
probably better handled through an ifnet-centric means but since changes
are infrequent shouldn't matter for now.

For the floppy driver, use fdcontrol to manipulate density selection.
For the CD drivers, the 'a' and 'c' suffix is without actual effect and
any applications insisting on it can be satisfied with a symlink:

such a card is ejected, we'd panic. Instead, just ignore it.
I should also add a sanity check in the FUNCID code as well, but this
isn't wrong since the check is cheap and happens infrequently.
