to the Forth interpreter. Instantiate all of our inbuilt commands
as Forth words, and handle them being called from there.
Add my copyright to the bcache module (oops).
in libstand, only for i386 until I locate an alpha setjmp/longjmp.
Minimal 64-bit gcc integer support for i386. This is kinda nasty, and
should be revisited once we decide whether the bootblocks need
quad arithmetic.
for in a loaded module of type "userconfig_script". The RB_CONFIG
flag will always result in the user being left inside userconfig at
the end of the script's execution, regardless of 'quit' commands in
the script. If the RB_CONFIG flag is not specified, the user will
never be left inside userconfig, even if the script does not have an
explicit exit command.
Add the INTRO_USERCONFIG option. This option forces the userconfig 'intro'
screen (after a script has optionally been executed). There is no longer
a need to queue an 'intro' command.
they cannot mount a filesystem that they cannot see in getvfsbyname().
Part 1 of this is a hack, make vfsisloadable() always return true - the
ultimate decider of whether it's loadable or not is kldload() or mount().
Part 2 of this is to have vfsload() call kldload(2) and return success if
it works. This means that we will use a viable kld module in preference
to an LKM!
Ultimately, the thing to do is remove the hacks to do a vfsload in all the
mount_* commands and let the kernel do it by itself in mount(2).
base register that controls Ultra-DMA, so we need to examine all possible
base registers instead of just giving up at the first empty one.
Also, looking at the source code to the BIOS, I see that they are also
checking for 0xffffffff as an invalid value so do the same. Stefan may like
to clean this up, but at least now I can find my PCI IDE registers.
this will allow us to manage bloat in the loader by using a bytecoded HLL
rather than lots of C code. It also offers an opportunity for vendors
or others with special applications to significantly customise the boot
process without having to commit to a divergent code branch.
This early commit is to allow others to experiment with the most effective
mechanisms for integrating FICL with the loader as it currently stands.

and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.
The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.
Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.
the top half to do it.
Put in a dubious check for subdisk integrity when trying to bring
up a plex where others are already up. This particular kludge is
crying out for a rewrite of the whole state code.
Add code to set_plex_state and set_volume_state to defer updates when
called from an interrupt context. This doesn't happen yet, but it
could do.
