so do not duplicate the code in cvtstatfs().
Note, that we now need to clear fsid in freebsd4_getfsstat().
This moves all security related checks from functions like cvtstatfs()
and will allow to add more security related stuff (like statfs(2), etc.

and on resume (reported to fix issues with ACPI)
o Add monitor mode support
o Add WPA (802.11i) support (not tested extensively though!)
o Add a device specific sysctl to control the tx antenna (default to
antenna diversity)
o Fix sensitivity setting
o Fix setting of the capinfo field when associating
o Temporarly disable 802.11a channels scanning that was causing firmware
panics with 2915ABG adapters until I find a better fix. This breaks
802.11a support.
o Temporarly switch back to software WEP until I implement hardware
encryption for AES and TKIP too.

- Replace "graphics cards" with "framebuffers" in the description
of creator(4) in order to make it uniform with the description of
machfb(4) and the latter occur both on-board and as add-on cards.
use with syscons(4) on sparc64. It's based on the respective NetBSD
driver with some additional info (initialisation/hardware cursor)
obtained from the Xorg 'ati' driver and some ideas taken from
creator(4). ATI Mach64 chips ("ATI Rage") are quite common as low-
end graphics chips in PCI-based sun4u machines and are used on-board
in e.g. Blade 100 and a couple of OEM products. Most if not all of
the Sun PGX add-on cards family (descriptions of the PGX32 are
conflicting but most say it's a Rage Pro) are also based on these
chips. Depending on the version of the OBP Mach64 cards destined for
use in i386 machines also work in sun4u machines.
The driver uses pixel mode with hardware acceleration as far as
syscons(4) currently permits on sparc64 so text mode is already
quite fast. The hardware cursor is used for the mouse pointer;
for one because this is a "restriction" induced in syscons(4) on
sparc64 by creator(4) and also because of issues with mapping
the aperture when used as a low-level early during boot. Due to
insufficiencies in the available documentation I didn't manage to
get mode switch work properly (sync problems), yet. So for now
this driver relies on the OBP having initialised a mode (as does
creator(4)). On all of the tested machines is even true when using
a serial console (and also not only when the OBP switched to a
serial console because no keyboard is present). In general however
the states the Mach64 chips are left in by the OBP vary a lot
depending on the version of the OBP. This e.g. includes the aperture
not being mapped in even when used as the console and the OBP just
barfing when asked to map it. The latter is also the reason for the
existence of this native driver in FreeBSD rather than taking an
OFW frambuffer approach.
Xorg is also happy to talk to these chips by mmap'ing them through
this driver. For some hardware configs like on the Blade 100 a fix
for the Xorg sparc64 MD bus code is however needed (added in version
6.8.2_2 of the xorg-server port).
The video driver font loading and saving methods are not implemented,
yet, as syscons(4) needs more work in that area to work viable on
sparc64.
With minor modifications machfb(4) would most likely also work on
powerpc, when #ifdef'ing the OFW and possibly implementing mode
setting probably also on the other archs. The latter is however
not very practible at the moment as it would conflict with vga(4).

- Use register macros instead of magic values in the code. [1]
- Check the return values of OF_getprop() and other stuff that actually
can fail.
- Let the unimplemented video driver methods return ENODEV rather
than 0 so other code isn't tricked into thinking a certain operation
was successfull. In case of e.g. the video driver creator_ioctl()
this caused vidcontrol(1) to return random garbage information.
Remove the TODO macros in the unimplemented video driver methods
which did a printf("%s: unimplemented\n", __func__). Under certain
circumstances these managed to invoke a printf() when a low-level
console device wasn't attached, yet, causing a Fast Data Access MMU
Miss. These macros were only really usefull for development anyway.
- Set the struct video_adapter and struct video_info va_flags and
vi_flags etc. as appropriate.
- In creator_configure() don't rely on hitting the node which is the
chosen console device first when searching the OFW tree for adapters
compatible with this driver. Instead just check whether the chosen
console device is a viable target for this driver. Targets that are
not the console (including additional cards in multi-head configs)
will be attached through creator_upa_attach(). I think this how the
code in creator_configure() was actually meant to work.
Honour the VIO_PROBE_ONLY flag and don't initialise and register the
console device twice when creator_configure() is called a second time
during sc_probe_unit().
Let creator_configure() return the number of the found adapters,
i.e. 1 in case probing succeeds, as it's expected. The return values
of video adapter configure functions however currently aren't checked
so this doesn't make a difference at the moment.
- In creator_upa_attach() don't rely on probing and attaching the
adapter which is the console first, in case there are multiple
adpaters and one of them is the console this could lead into using
the video adapter unit 0 twice.
- Make the check for DACs with inverted cursor control a bit more
precise and actually honour that information when turning the cursor
on or off. Add a helper function creator_cursor_enable() for this
in order to keep code duplication low. [1]
- Don't bother with faking a hardware cursor in case a device is the
console. Apparently this was meant to start kernel output right after
where the firmware left. In general this isn't worth the fuzz and
also had no real effect as creator_set_mode() did clear the screen
in any case, not just in case a device was not the console.
- Implement creator_fill_rect() and use it to actually blank the
display in creator_blank_display() when the mode is V_DISPLAY_BLANK,
moving blanking the display out of creator_set_mode(). Use it also
to implement creator_set_border() so the border can be re-drawn
when switching to a VTY from X, exiting X, etc. (which leaves us
with a black border most of the time).
- Implement the video driver creator_ioctl(), moving the implementation
of the IOCTL interface from the fbN CDEV version of creator_ioctl()
into the video driver version and use the latter to implement the
former. Use fb_commonioctl() to handle most of the FBIO IOCTLs.
This gives programs like vidcontrol(1) which use the video driver
creator_ioctl() a chance of working.
Implement turning off the cursor via the FBIOSCURSOR IOCTL, which
Xorg uses to in order to inform the OS that it's taking over the
cursor. In creator_putm() check whether the cursor is enabled and
(re-)install it if necessary, moving installing the cursor out of
creator_init() and into a helper function creator_cursor_install().
This fixes the missing mouse pointer when switching to a VTY from X,
exiting X, etc.
- Some clean-up (remove unused/useless code, etc.).
o sparc64/creator/creator_upa.c / sparc64/sparc64/sc_machdep.c:
- Attach syscons(4) as an own pseudo-device on the nexus rather than
directly in creator_upa_attach(), similiar to attaching syscons(4)
as a pseudo-device on isa(4) on other archs. This makes it a whole
lot easier to do the right thing in multi-head configs, especially
with different types of graphics adapters. [2]
- Set SC_AUTODETECT_KBD by default so USB keyboards work out of the
box. [2]
