deleting the DMA support etc. (I guess that's one way of minimizing diffs
between -current and -stable.. :-] )

and /dev/npsm0 is the non-blocking one.
DEVFS must stay consistent with the older behaviour.

is a tremendous perf decrease due to the disabling of advanced
features such as DMA, Ultra DMA, and 32bit mode. This patch
might have been reported by someone else (I seem to remember
it.)
Use config flags 0x1000 to enable LBA mode. It should be enabled in
the BIOS too to avoid geometry confusion.
One catch though, I'm not sure all BIOS's uses the 64head/63secs
translation, all mine does but....
- Set the correct value scp->font_size in init_scp().
- Set scp->font_size to FONT_NONE for VGA_MODEX.
Interim fix for a font problem:
- A kludge to display the correct font on some video cards.
We should be able to load multiple fonts to the VGA plane #2 and switch
between fonts by setting the font select register in the VGA sequencer.
It appears that the current code isn't functioning as expected on
some VGA cards (I have reports on Millenium and Mach64 cards). This is
either a bug in syscons or a hardware compatibility problem ;-<
This kludge will always load only one font set at a time and always use
the font page #0 on the plane #2. It is an interim kludge until
we find the exact cause and solution.
Small adjustment for mouse cursor handling:
- Turn off the mouse cursor early when changing video modes.
Video mode switch fixes:
- Stop the screen saver when changing video modes.
- Enclose the critical section with a pair of spltty()/splx().
- A kludge to prevent scrn_update() from accessing video memory in less-
critical sections in video mode change; artificially turn on the
UNKNOWN_MODE flag.

time relative to boottime.
* move "runtime" into struct proc. This helps fix the calcru()
problem in SMP.

"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.
Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).
A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.
Add a new nfs_curusec() function.
Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable.
Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the
one remaining call that passwd &time as args.
Change profiling in ncr.c to use ticks instead of time. Resolution is
the same.
Add new function "tvtohz()" to avoid the bogus "splfoo(), add time, call
hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.

everything is contained inside #ifdef VM86, so this option must be
present in the config file to use this functionality.
Thanks to Tor Egge, these changes should work on SMP machines. However,
it may not be throughly SMP-safe.
Currently, the only BIOS calls made are memory-sizing routines at bootup,
these replace reading the RTC values.
- Implement proper EISA probing.
- Better support for the new transputer based host cards.
- use standard termios settings, one can use the intial/lock devices.
- use a simple bcopy since some cards/systems apparently don't support
32 bit accesses.
- hard reset and halt host card CPU prior to download in case of a soft
restart.
- recognize new remote module types (ASIC vs. CD1400 based)
- a number of cosmetic changes (my fault, not Nick's)

Don't try to flush buffers if the drive says it has none.

I've been able to make several 4G backups. However there is still problems

problems yet.

Verify that timer interrupts are delivered. If they aren't, attempt
a fallback to mixed mode (i.e. routing the timer interrupt via the 8259 PIC).
interrupts are masked, and EOI is sent iff the corresponding ISR bit
is set in the local apic. If the CPU cannot obtain the interrupt
service lock (currently the global kernel lock) the interrupt is
forwarded to the CPU holding that lock.
Clock interrupts now have higher priority than other slow interrupts.

it runs at a constant frequency. This was less of an issue before,
because the TSC only interpolated in the HZ intervals, but now where
the timecounter is used all the way, this becomes much more visible.
Nit: Fix a printf which triggered the bde-filter.
