are loadable, this made things cleaner and boot messages nicer.

* Kill individual drivers 'suspend' routines, since there's no simple/safe
way to suspend/resume a card w/out going through the complete probe
at initialization time.
* Default to using the apm_pccard_resume sysctl code, which basically
pretends the card was removed, and then re-inserted. Suspend/resume
is now 'emulated' with a fake insert/removal. (Hence we no longer
need the driver-specific suspend routines.)

- Move the configuration option SC_HISTORY_SIZE from syscons.h to
syscons.c.
- Define the maximum total number of history lines of all consoles.
It is SC_HISTORY_SIZE*MAXCONS or 1000*MAXCONS; whichever is larger.
CONS_HISTORY will allow the user to set the history size up to
SC_HISTORY_SIZE unconditionally (or the current height of the console
if it is larger than SC_HISTORY_SIZE). If the user requests a larger
buffer, it will be granted only if the total number of all allocated
history lines and the requested number of lines won't exceed the maximum.
- Don't free the previous history buffer and leave the history buffer
pointer holding a invalid pointer. Set the pointer to NULL first, then
free the buffer.

floppy drive #0, regardless of what the CMOS says. This is intended
as a bandaid for those plagued with Compaq's idea to not announce the
floppy drive on their `Aero' notebook.
Using the device flags is not very nice (in particular since they
aren't per-drive but per-controller), but still looks a lot better to
me than the disgusting guesswork hack that was recently posted to
-hackers.
Doc update will follow shortly.

size in terms of lines (instead of bytes). When changing video mode
in ioctl SW_XXX commands, syscons checks scp->history_size and
allocate a history buffer at least as large as the new screen size.
(This was unnecessary before, because HISTORY_SIZE was as large as 100
lines and this is bigger than the maximum screen size: 60 lines).
Similar adjustment is done in ioctl CONS_HISTORY command too.

There is now another simple_lock around clock data/hardware accesses in
clock.c and microtime.s. It is my belief that this is the only area
sio/cy might stumble into during an unblocked INTerrupt. Thus I separated
the sio/cy code from the generic disable_intr()/enable_intr() routines.
Controlled by smptests.h: USE_COMLOCK, ON by default.
Add a simplelock to deal with disable_intr()/enable_intr() as used in UP kernel.
UP kernel expects that this is enough to guarantee exclusive access to
regions of code bracketed by these 2 functions.
Add a simplelock to bracket clock accesses in clock.c: clock_lock.

More cleanup in the direction of making splxx()/cpl MP-safe.
Several new fine-grained locks.
New FAST_INTR() methods:
- separate simplelock for FAST_INTR, no more giant lock.
- FAST_INTR()s no longer checks ipending on way out of ISR.
sio made MP-safe (I hope).
Add support for MODEX 320x240x256color with "unchained" adressing, giving

Also make sysmouse use the right resolution in graphics modes.

apic_vector.s:
- new algorithm where a CPU uses try_mplock instead of get_mplock:
if successful continue as before.
if fail set ipending bit, mask INT (to avoid recursion), cleanup & iret.
This allows the CPU to return to successful work, while the ISR will be run
by the CPU holding the lock as part of the doreti dance.
1. Add new interface, add_scrn_saver()/remove_scrn_saver(), to declare
loading/unloading of a screen saver. The screen saver calls these
functions to notify syscons of loading/unloading events.
It was possible to load multiple savers each of which will try to
remember the previous saver in a local variable (`old_saver'). The
scheme breaks easily if the user load two savers and unload them in a
wrong order; if the first saver is unloaded first, `old_saver' in the
second saver points to nowhere.
Now only one screen saver is allowed in memory at a time.
Soeren will be looking into this issue again later. syscons is
becoming too heavy. It's time to cut things down, rather than adding
more...
2. Make scrn_timer() to be the primary caller of the screen saver
(*current_saver)(). scintr(), scioctl() and ansi_put() update
`scrn_time_stamp' to indicate that they want to stop the screen saver.
There are three exceptions, however.
One is remove_scrn_saver() which need to stop the current screen saver
if it is running. To guard against scrn_timer() calling the saver during
this operation, `current_saver' is set to `none_saver' early.
The others are sccngetc() and sccncheckc(); they will unblank the
screen too. When the kernel enters DDB (via the hot key or a
break point), the screen saver will be stopped by sccngetc().
However, we have a reentrancy problem here. If the system has been in
the middle of the screen saver...
(The screen saver reentrancy problem has always been with sccnputc()
and sccngetc() in the -current source. So, the new code is doing no
worse, I reckon.)
3. Use `mono_time' rather than `time'.
4. Make set_border() work for EGA and CGA in addition to VGA. Do
nothing for MDA.
Changes to the LKM screen saver modules will follow shortly. YOU NEED
TO RECOMPILE BOTH SCREEN SAVERS AND KERNEL AS OF THESE CHANGES.

otherwise shift/control/alt state may not be correctly set/reset.
(Even with this fix, you can still make syscons confused and fail to
change internal state if you really want to, by installing a really
arcane and artificial keymap.)
