Assuming that the intr_mask[] was updated by changing the maskptrs (the
existing update_intr_masks() function will not work) this code was
written so the PCIC controller insertion/removal events will not
interrupt the card IRQ handler events.
Some possible scenarios:
+ Card is removed during IRQ handler:
- PCIC card handler is allowed to interrupt
- card removal event is called, removing the driver and data structures
* card interrupt handler continues w/out driver, data structures, and hardware
OR (the code just committed)
* card IRQ handler has no hardware to read/write to, but has code and
data to run on (XXX- Assume it completes and doesn't spin forever)
- PCIC card handler unloads the card driver
The current situation at least leaves the card interrupt handlers the
drivers and data structures to work with although the hardware can't be
guaranteed.

Thanks to Dave Huang <khym@bga.com> for reporting the problem
and suggesting a fix, though I chose a slightly different one.
- the operands for bt, bts, arpl and `enter' were reversed.
- btr was reported as bts (with the correct operand order).
- cmpxchg was misplaced. It was misplaced differently in the
comments. It is misplaced differently again in the i486 manual.
I put it where the i586 manual and gas say it is.
- fucompp was misplaced.
- the rr table for(s) some versions of fstp, fcom and fcomp was non-null.
This caused some invalid opcodes to be reported as "" instead of as
"<bad instruction>".
- the word and long versions of the fi* instructions were reversed.
- aaa and daa were reversed.
Fixed bugs involving unusual operand sizes:
- 32-bit registers weren't always forced for bswap or for moves to and
from special registers.
- the operand sizes weren't reported for [l]call or [l]jmp.
- displacements weren't truncated mod 2^16 when the operand size was
16-bit.
- too-large displacements and offsets were fetched, and too-large
offsets were reported, when the operand size was 16-bit.
- sign extended immediate bytes were extended too far when the operand
size was 16-bit.
Fixed bugs involving usual operand sizes:
- 8-bit source registers weren't forced for mov[sz]b[wl].
- 16-bit source registers weren't forced for mov[sz]w[wl].
- immediate bytes were sometimes reported as sign extended even for
byte operations. Same for immediate words in word operations.
- the immediate byte was not reported as sign extended for `push'.
Finished Pentium support:
- cpuid, cmpxchg8b and rsm were missing.
Finished i287 support:
- fneni, fndisi and fsetpm were missing. These are harmless nops on
later FPUs.
Improvements:
- report invalid opcodes 0xd6 and 0xf1 using .byte. They are special
in not causing invalid operand exceptions when executed.
- report the immediate byte for unusual aam and aad instuctions.
Immediate bytes other than 0x0a always worked and are documented to
work on Pentiums.

This code was sent to me by Bruce Evans, and seems to fix some
possible kernel panic in case of an execution error. It did not
cause any problems on my system, but I did never observe the
problem this patch is supposed to fix, anyway.
This patch is a NOP, unless the kernel is built with "options

and objects. Previously, "fancy" memory management techniques
such as that used by the M3 RTS would have the tendancy of chopping
up processes allocated memory into lots of little objects. Alan
has come up with some improvements to migtigate the sitution to
the point where even the M3 RTS only has one object for bss and
it's managed memory (when running CVSUP.) (There are still cases where the
situation isn't improved when the system pages -- but this is much much
better for the vast majority of cases.) The system will now be able
to much more effectively merge map entries.

nfs_sillyrename() self-destructs if you try to sillyrename a directory,
however nfs_rename() can be coerced into doing just that by the above
sequence of commands. To avoid this, nfs_rename() now checks that
v_type of the 'destination' vnode != VDIR before attempting the
sillyrename. The server correctly handles this particular situation
by returning ENOTEMPTY on the rename() attempt.

since the break system call by default gives VM_PROT_ALL. Now
we have a better chance of coalesing map entries when mixing
mmap/break type operations. This was contributing to excessive
numbers of map entries on the modula-3 runtime system. The
problem is still not "solved", but the situation makes more
sense.
Eventually, when we work on architectures where VM_PROT_READ
is orthogonal to VM_PROT_EXEC, we will have to visit this
issue carefully (esp. regarding security issues.)
