- When the video BIOS is called to clear the region (x, y)-(79, 24)
(by scrolling), the slashed region in Fig.1 is cleared. CD() is
supposed to clear the region shown in Fig.2.

- Don't move the cursor during this operation.
- Be consistent about placing spaces around keywords and
operators; don't mix statements like "if(A==B)" and "if (X == Y)",
"return(0)" and "return (-1)", "P=10" and "Q = 0", etc.
- Consitently indent lines. It's not good to indent by 8 columns
in one part of the file, and by 4 columns in the other part.
to avoid removing higher level directory vnodes from the namecache has
no perceivable effect and will be removed. This is especially true
when vmiodirenable is turned on, which it is by default now. ( vmiodirenable
makes a huge difference in directory caching ). The vfs.vmiodirenable and
vfs.nameileafonly sysctls have been left in to allow further testing, but
I expect to rip out vfs.nameileafonly soon too.
I have also determined through testing that the real problem with numvnodes
getting too large is due to the VM Page cache preventing the vnode from
being reclaimed. The directory stuff made only a tiny dent relative
to Poul's original code, enough so that some tests succeeded. But tests
with several million small files show that the bigger problem is the VM Page
cache. This will have to be addressed by a future commit.

YA pseudofs megacommit, part 2:
- Merge the pfs_vnode and pfs_vdata structures, and make the vnode cache
a doubly-linked list. This eliminates the need to walk the list in
pfs_vncache_free().
- Add an exit callout which revokes vnodes associated with the process
that just exited. Since it needs to lock the cache when it does this,
pfs_vncache_mutex needs MTX_RECURSE.
- Add a third callback to the pfs_node structure. This one simply returns
non-zero if the specified requesting process is allowed to access the
specified node for the specified target process. This is used in
addition to the usual permission checks, e.g. when certain files don't
make sense for certain (system) processes.
- Make sure that pfs_lookup() and pfs_readdir() don't yap about files
which aren't pfs_visible(). Also check pfs_visible() before performing
reads and writes, to prevent the kind of races reported in SA-00:77 and
SA-01:55 (fork a child, open /proc/child/ctl, have that child fork a
setuid binary, and assume control of it).
- Add some more trace points.
give the correct workaround for compat library problem
give a better acpi workaround.
Also include note about TARGET_ARCH.
