This enables other consumers of the mouse, to get it info via
moused/syscons.
In order to use it run moused (from sysconfig), and then tell
your Xserver that it should use /dev/sysmouse (mknod sysmouse c 12 128)
and it a mousesystems mouse. Everybody will be happy then :)
Remember that moused still needs to know what kind of mouse you
have..
Comments welcome, as is test results...
The default level works with minimal overhead, but one can also enable
full, efficient use of a 512K cache. (Parameters can be generated
to support arbitrary cache sizes also.)
(A pointer to a const was misused to avoid loading loading the same
value twice, but gcc does exactly the same optimization automatically.
It can see that the value hasn't changed.)
- avoiding strcmp("?" saved 12 bytes. gcc inlined the strcmp()
but this takes as much or more code as a function call. The
inlining was bogus because the strcmp() in the bootstrap isn't
standard.
- using a char instead of an int for the boolean `last_only' saved 8
bytes. Booleans should usually be represented as chars on the i386.
- simplifying the return tests saved 9 bytes.
- using putc instead of printf to print a newline saved 3 bytes of code
and 2 bytes of const data.
- avoiding `else's by always doing the else clause and fixing it up
saved 4+8 bytes.
gcc always generates large code for accesses to globals. For locals
it only generates large code if there are more than 128 bytes of
locals. It sorts scalar locals after array locals to pessimize for
space in the usual case when there are more (static) references to
scalars than to arrays.
Saved another 16 bytes (13 before padding) by adding a `continue'.
Fall-through tests normally save space, but here one of them made
gcc do space-unoptimal register allocation (it allocates ch in %bl
because preserving this register across function calls is "free",
but comparisions with %bl take one byte fewer than comparsions with
%bl).
for entire SYS5 SHM segments. This is totally unnecessary, and so the
correct allocation of VM objects has been substituted. (The vm_mmap
was misused -- vm_object_allocate is more appropriate.)
If you define this, it means your keyboard is actually probable using the
brain-dammaged probe routine in syscons, and if the keyboard is NOT found,
then you don't want syscons to activate itself further.
This makes life sane for those of us who use serial consoles most of the
time and want "the right thing" to happen when we plug a keyboard in.
Bowrite guarantees that buffers queued after a call to bowrite will
be written after the specified buffer (on a particular device).
Bowrite does this either by taking advantage of hardware ordering support
(e.g. tagged queueing on SCSI devices) or resorting to a synchronous write.

not depend on bootverbose being true.
Include only register specifications for those chip sets that apply to
a cpu that might boot this a particular kernel (ie. make the Saturn code
depend on I486_CPU being defined, the Pentium chip sets on I586_CPU ...)
I just couldn't get the code to be as small as it should have gotten..
atill a LITTLE bigger than before as I need to allow the
default string to have options as well
1/ Makefile: the maximum size for boot2 is 7.5K not 7K,
so don't complain until it reaches THAT size..
newfs leaves 8K and boot 1 is 512k. leaving 7.5K becasue the disklabel
is considered to part of the boot2 file.
[512 boot1][512 disklabel][ 7K boot2 code ]
[boot1 file][ boot2 file ]
2/ Boot2.S: move the soring of the default name read from block 2 to AFTER
clearing the BSS.
3/ boot.c:
Move the parsing of the command line into the
place it's called for clarity.. alsoi comment it a bit and clean it
up a bit.. for some reason this seems ot have made it a little
larger, but I can't work out why.. maybe bruce might have ideas?
compensated for by shrinkage elsewhere..
the practical result of this is htat the default string can now contain args
e.g. if you change the default string to have -gd
then the machine will boot to the dgb debugger stub by default..
this is mostly useful with the nextboot utility..
as it now allows you to remotely force a machine to reboot into
the debugger.
(1) Remove mk30line (moved to /usr/sbin, but not in our source tree yet)
(2) Delete unneeded (well, harmful now :) code to prohibit #including
of isa_device.h from PC98 sources.
(3) Remove files now equal to their ISA/PC-AT counterparts.

so that the compiler can see that it is OK to use const strings in
NDINIT(). Some emulators want to use paths of the form "/compat/foo".
Removed the casts that hid the non-problem. Didn't fix the missing
consts in syscalls.master that hid the non-problem.
were declared as non-const. This is backwards (_lkm_exec() changes the
pointers but all the target `struct execsw's are const). Fixed this
and poisoned related declarations to match and removed the bogus casts
that hid the bug.
the file access time update on reads and can be useful in reducing
filesystem overhead in cases where the access time is not important (like
Usenet news spools).
