the ACPI module if the system apperars to be ACPI compliant.
This is an initial cut; the load should really be done by Forth support
code, and we should check both the BIOS build date and a blacklist.
information. The default limits only effect machines with > 1GB of ram
and can be overriden with two new kernel conf variables VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX
and VM_BCACHE_SIZE_MAX, or with loader variables kern.maxswzone and
kern.maxbcache. This has the effect of leaving more KVM available for
sizing NMBCLUSTERS and 'maxusers' and should avoid tripups where a sysad
adds memory to a machine and then sees the kernel panic on boot due to
running out of KVM.
Also change the default swap-meta auto-sizing calculation to allocate half
of what it was previously allocating. The prior defaults were way too high.
Note that we cannot afford to run out of swap-meta structures so we still
stay somewhat conservative here.
actual end of the section. The new gas (binutils) puts in additional padding
which was misaligning the concatenated btx loader.

the first sector of the emulated floppy to contain a valid MS-DOS BPB that
it can modify. Since boot1 is the first sector of boot.flp, this resulted
in the BIOS overwriting part of boot1: specifically the function used to
read in sectors from the disk.

make(1) wants to build loader.sym *before* the .o files. Eliminating
one seeminly intermediate step avoids the problem. Somehow, it seems
that variables are not getting expanded at the right time.
Any explanations would be appreciated...
Changing:
${BASE}.sym: ${OBJS} ${LIBSTAND} ${LIBFICL} ${LIBALPHA} ${CRT} vers.o
${LD} ...
To:
BASEOBJS= ${OBJS} ${LIBSTAND} ${LIBFICL} ${LIBALPHA} ${CRT} vers.o
${BASE}.sym: ${BASEOBJS}
echo ${BASEOBJS}
${LD} ...
.. the echo only shows LIBFICL, CRT and vers.o. ${OBJS} is not included.
(I'll be we know which compiler and platform they developed this on...)
Minimally change them to C89 comments to make GCC happy. (this is kinda funny
as the file has piece derived from FreeBDS 3.2)
Also fix FreeBSD id style.
