use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work. Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.
Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.
version of strdup() by a macro, killed many calls to strdup(), thus
potentially wasting less malloc'ed space (their args were never be
free()ed desptie despite of being malloc'ed). Probably still a huge
memory leak at all... Also killed two totally useless variables.
I've tested it as i could, but wouldn't be surprised if unexpected
problems showed up. So watch out this space!
conservative part of the tidyup, like fixing potential buffer overflow
conditions. It is believed to be safe to go into 2.2.

EISA slots to probe. This is mainly intended to allow installing the
system on an HP Netserver with an on-board AIC7xxx EISA SCSI
controller, that is sitting on EISA slot # 11.
Documentation updates explaining this hack will follow shortly.
Note that this can go away again as soon as the EISA device probing
is more intelligent about the address space clash with the PCI address
space.
2.2 candidate.

that we do allow mlock to span unallocated regions (of course, not
mlocking them.) We also allow mlocking of RO regions (which the old
code couldn't.) The restriction there is that once a RO region is
wired (mlocked), it cannot be debugged (or EVER written to.)
Under normal usage, the new mlock code will be a significant improvement
over our old stuff.
I went over the code.
Add shortcuts for addUser and addGroup, documenting same.
Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.
so many). For now, the only extended attribute implemented is NO ECHO,
useful for things like passwords. See TESTS/input2.c for an example.
This should go into 2.2.
Tekram DC390W/U/F, whose config EEPROM can now be dumped, if the kernel
is built with option NCR_TEKRAM_EEPROM.
Other changes:
- add brackets to expansion of OUTB/W/L macro arguments.
- remove unused NCB structure element ns_async
- support sync. SCSI offset of 16 (instead of only 8) on 825A and 875
- correctly identify 53c810A and 53c825A chips
- preserve SCSI BIOS settings of PCI performance options
- remove (already disabled) support for NCR reset because of command timeout
- reverse order of reading of SCSI and DMA specific interrupt cause registers
- add definition of Tekram config EEPROM contents (not currently used)
