this driver hasn't been checked but as a separate module, bringing it in won't
break anything else and it't the best way of testing it......

This code will only be included in your kernel if you have
'options DEVRANDOM', but that will fall away in a couple of days.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.

Extend test coverage:
Add and enable undocumented options TCPDEBUG, COMPAT_LINUX and IBCS2.
Add but disable (broken) pseudo device tb.
Add and enable pseudo devices su, ssc.
Add but disable (broken) devices sscape0, trix0.
Add and enable device bqu0.
had a 2.1 tag, thus sending these two changes into the 2.1 branch instead
of -current. Argh. I may bring these changes into the 2.1 anyway (they're
benign there) so I'm not going to admin them out of 2.1 for the time
being.
Claim the major numbers (before sombedoy else jumps in again and
claims the slots for his foocd driver :-), install all the hooks that
are required.
While i've been at this, i've cleaned up some of the routines at the
end of i386/conf.c; all the importers of the latest CDROM drivers
forgot to fill in the appropriate information. The `ata' driver
(vapourware?) does only occupy a slot in the bdevsw[] array, btw.
The actual import of the code does require a minor change in the SCSI
subsystem, and i want to have this reviewed by Peter first, so it will
be deferred for some days. The driver is already working for me
though.

LINT talks about about 2.1. I changed that to 2.0.5,
and clarified why certain devices need "at scbus?".
There is still a crazy "PCVT=210" which shouldn't be there,
but corrected comment as it is needed for 2.0.5.
- option DODUMP no longer exists (remove all references to it).
- directive `swap on' is now a no-op (don't bother documenting it; remove
comment to match code).
- directive `dumps on' still works (restore code to match comment; deprecate
it in comment).

require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.
