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.
should be completely ignored for point-to-point interfaces).
For point-to-point interfaces, route based on the destination address,
not the local address.

for broadcasts if point-to-point links shared the same IP address as
the ethernet. The fix must be enabled with P2P_LOCALADDR_SHARE option
in the kernel config file. This will someday likely be standard, but
there isn't sufficient time before release to determine if there are
any interoperability problems with routed and/or gated.

- Allow PPP to run multicasts natively.
- Deal properly with lots of similarly-named interfaces.
- Don't sign-extend if_flags.
NB: the last fix (to rtsock.c) must be reversed when we expand if_flags to a
reasonable size.

- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
