-current commit for st.c, kernel support for /bin/mt's 'comp' option.
(tested with exabyte and DAT tape units. Does not apparently work with
all SCSI tape's, though).
- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections
- Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions. These will be
obsoleted when BTX is available for the 386 and the kernel load
area becomes directly addressable.
- Add the ability load an arbitrary file as a module, associating
and arbitrary type string with it. This can be used eg. for loading
splash-screen images etc.
- Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure. We know how to look for
dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies
and what to do if things go wrong. Only works for a.out at the
moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader. Attach KLD module information
to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it
can find it itself).
- Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary. Only pad the a.out BSS
for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away. (We might want
to do this for KLD modules too.)
- Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering
it with things like 'echo'. Add 'echo'.
- Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax.
- Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable.
- Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well
(not terribly useful for the average user)
- Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules.
- The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the
/boot directory to use that name.
- Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by
arch_readin()
vfsops. vfs_oid will be used to attach and detach vfs sysctls
dynamically. vfs_uninit() will be used to clean up before
modunloading vfs LKMs. The nfs LKM needs these features most.
src/lkm/Makefile.inc. This fixes broken builds of the syscons LKMs
when OBJFORMAT=elf. Removed src/lkm/Makefile.inc since it became
empty and is worse than useless.
arguments as appropriate. This is necessary because setting OBJFORMAT=aout
in the makefile doesn't get exported to the environment. I wish our
make could do that!
- Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules.
This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication.
- Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel.
- Use the common module management code for all module metadata.
- Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away.
- Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out
kld modules.

Removed Hauppauge EEPROM 0x10 detection as I think 0x10 should be a
PAL tuner, not NTSC.
Reinstated some Tuner Guesswork code from 1.27

Added PR kern/7177 for SECAM Video Highway Xtreme with single crystal
PLL configuration submitted by Vsevolod Lobko <seva@alex-ua.com>.
In kernel configuration file add
options OVERRIDE_CARD=2
options OVERRIDE_TUNER=11
options BKTR_USE_PLL

Normally the full 640x480 (768x576 PAL) image is grabbed. This ioctl
allows a smaller area from anywhere within the video image to be
grabbed, eg a 400x300 image from (50,10).

cluster from the RX descriptor is passed up to the higher layers and
replaced with an empty buffer for the next time the descriptor comes
up in the RX ring. The xl_newbuf() routine returns ENOBUFS if it can't
obtain a new mbuf cluster, but this return value was being ignored.
Now, if buffer allocation fails, we leave the old one in place and
drop the packet. This is rude, but there's not much else that can be
done in this situation.
Without this, the driver can cause a panic if the system runs out of
MBUF clusters. Now it will complain loudly, but it shouldn't cause a
panic.
Also added another pair of missing newlines to some printf()s.
- moved definition of MACHINE_ARCH from cpu.h to parm.h as alpha.
- Added definitions of _MACHINE and _MACHINE_ARCH.
- Added hw.ispc98. The hw.ispc98 is 1 in PC98 kernel and is 0 in
IBM-PC kernel.

VT switching is still not yet supported. Attempting to switch VT
currently will cause Xserver bus error.

delay controls how long the driver waits for autonegotiation to
complete after setting the 'autoneg restart bit' in a PHY. In some
cases, it seems 3 seconds is not long enough: with 3c905-TX cards
(external PHY), you sometimes see 'autoneg not complete; no carrier'
errors due to the timeout being too short. (3c905B adapters seem to
be happy with 3 seconds though.)
a kernel be built and installed at just the right time. If the system
were to be rebooted after installing the 3.0 binaries without the
new kernel, the system is hosed.
The addition of this config file reserves the name of the config file
that the upgrade procedure uses. If an upgrade is to be performed on
a 2.2.5/6/7 system system for which a GENERIC kernel is inadequate,
this config file must be replace with a suitable one before performing
the upgrade.
On systems which report 'uname -r' as 3.0-CURRENT, the kernel build
is not performed and this file is ignored.
