FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to

miscconfigured case) if the port is the console. This fixes several
bugs:
- if all sioprobe()s failed, then the console driver followed null
pointers in cdevsw[].
- if the sioprobe() for the console failed but another sioprobe()
succeeded, then init hung early when the console couldn't be
opened.
- it was silly for the console to not be there after printing boot
messages on it.
Bugs introduced by this are hopefully no worse than old ones caused
by forcing the success of the `cn' level probe.
Only complain about an irq mismatch in the probe if the configured
irq doesn't become active, and then print the bitmap of irqs that
became active (including clock irqs) instead of just the first

a test of the irq number, and made failure of this test non-fatal.
Removed related unused complications for the APIC_IO case. Removed the
no-test3 flag.
Deverbosified the failure messages for the other tests. Removed the
per-port verbose flag - just use the general verbose flag.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.
Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.
Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.
Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()
This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

Interim fix for a font problem:
- A kludge to display the correct font on some video cards.
We should be able to load multiple fonts to the VGA plane #2 and switch
between fonts by setting the font select register in the VGA sequencer.
It appears that the current code isn't functioning as expected on
some VGA cards (I have reports on Millenium and Mach64 cards). This is
either a bug in syscons or a hardware compatibility problem ;-<
This kludge will always load only one font set at a time and always use
the font page #0 on the plane #2. It is an interim kludge until
we find the exact cause and solution.
Small adjustment for mouse cursor handling:

Video mode switch fixes:

- Enclose the critical section with a pair of spltty()/splx().

critical sections in video mode change; artificially turn on the
UNKNOWN_MODE flag.

"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
