Prompted by docs/12343, in which people seemed to get a little confused.
The original text in the file said:
[...]
# By default we use COM1 as our serial console port *if* we're going to use
# a serial port as our console at all. (0x3E8 = COM2)
#
#BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x3F8
[...]
From what I can make out, some people have assumed that means that if
they just uncomment the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT then it will use COM2:
These same people then assume that "0x3F8" on that line is a typo for
"0x3E8".
What it actually means is that if you uncomment the line then the default
stays as "Ox3F8" (COM1:), and that you have to uncomment the line, *and*
change the value of the variable in order to use COM2:.
So I've made that a little bit clearer. I've also listed the hex values
for COM1: thru COM4:, snarfed from sys/isa/isareg.h.

Nuked HAVE_FPU option.
lib/msun/Makefile:
Always build the i387 objects. Copy the i387 source files at build
time so that the i387 objects have different names. This is simpler
than renaming the files in the cvs repository or repeating half of
bsd.lib.mk to add explicit rules.
lib/msun/src/*.c:
Renamed all functions that have an i387-specific version by adding
`__generic_' to their names.
lib/msun/src/get_hw_float.c:
New file for getting machdep.hw_float from the kernel.
sys/i386/include/asmacros.h:
Abuse the ENTRY() macro to generate jump vectors and associated code.
This works much like PIC PLT dynamic initialization. The PIC case is
messy. The old i387 entry points are renamed. Renaming is easier
here because the names are given by macro expansions.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

I have also added a /usr/share/examples/etc directory, where I hope to
have all sample configuration files which in real use go into /etc installed.
(This way, if the user really screws the real one up, they can always go
back to a known-working distribution copy, even if they don't have sources.)
