Kazutaka YOKOTA 6e8394b8ba The second phase of syscons reorganization.
- Split syscons source code into manageable chunks and reorganize
  some of complicated functions.

- Many static variables are moved to the softc structure.

- Added a new key function, PREV.  When this key is pressed, the vty
  immediately before the current vty will become foreground.  Analogue
  to PREV, which is usually assigned to the PrntScrn key.

- Modified the kernel console input function sccngetc() so that it
  handles function keys properly.

- Reorganized the screen update routine.

- VT switching code is reorganized.  It now should be slightly more
  robust than before.

- Added the DEVICE_RESUME function so that syscons no longer hooks the
  APM resume event directly.

- New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING,
  SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE.
  Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is
  reduced.

  SC_PIXEL_MODE
  Made the VESA 800x600 mode an option, rather than a standard part of
  syscons.

  SC_DISABLE_DDBKEY
  Disables the `debug' key combination.

  SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE
  Inverse the character cell at the mouse cursor position in the text
  console, rather than drawing an arrow on the screen.

  SC_DFLT_FONT
  makeoptions "SC_DFLT_FONT=_font_name_"
  Include the named font as the default font of syscons.  16-line,
  14-line and 8-line font data will be compiled in.  This option replaces
  the existing STD8X16FONT option, which loads 16-line font data only.

- The VGA driver is split into /sys/dev/fb/vga.c and /sys/isa/vga_isa.c.

- The video driver provides a set of ioctl commands to manipulate the
  frame buffer.

- New kernel configuration option: VGA_WIDTH90
  Enables 90 column modes: 90x25, 90x30, 90x43, 90x50, 90x60.  These
  modes are mot always supported by the video card.

- The header file machine/console.h is reorganized; its contents is now
  split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h
  (another new file).  machine/console.h is still maintained for
  compatibility reasons.

- Kernel console selection/installation routines are fixed and
  slightly rebumped so that it should now be possible to switch between
  the interanl kernel console (sc or vt) and a remote kernel console
  (sio) again, as it was in 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1.

- Screen savers and splash screen decoders
  Because of the header file reorganization described above, screen
  savers and splash screen decoders are slightly modified.  After this
  update, /sys/modules/syscons/saver.h is no longer necessary and is
  removed.
