nothing good except of opening a can of (potential or real) security
holes. People maintaining a machine with higher security requirements
need to be on the console anyway, so there's no point in not forcing
them to reboot before starting maintenance.

Also, at the same time, be a *bit* optimizing and don't allocate any

the XENIX version is packed, and two bytes smaller than ours. So, define
the structure, and have it packed. I used the __attribte__((packed))
modifier for this; I could also have surrounded the struct definition with
#pragma pack(2) -- but that would have meant making ibcs2_timeb's definition
outside the function. This may need to be revisited if we ever want to
compile with a compiler other than gcc. (I also used 'unsigned long'
instead of 'time_t' because I am writing to match an external specification
-- and the definition of time_t could change.)

This eliminates a lot of #ifdef SMP type code. Things like _curproc reside
in a data page that is unique on each cpu, eliminating the expensive macros
like: #define curproc (SMPcurproc[cpunumber()])
There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is
standalone so it should be safe. The temporary code goes away when the
full idle cpu support is finished.

The kernel with USERCONFIG_BOOT and VISUAL_USERCONFIG option presents
the user the kernel configuration menu upon boot.
The user can navigate the menu with cursor keys. I think it would be
nice if the user can navigate and select a menu item with regular keys
as well, so that the user who is using a serial console which is not
so capable of esc sequences still can choose a menu item.
With the following patch we can select an item by typing an item
number, 1, 2, or 3, or mnemonic `s' to skip UserConfig, 'v' to enter
the visual mode, and `c' to start the CLI mode. `p', `u', `n', and `d'
will move cursor up and down.

This is rather strange assumption. If there is no dispaly adapter, the
console driver cannot be any good...
In this patch, scinit() is split into two parts; the first part is
now called scvidprobe() which will detect the presence of video card
at the CGA or MONO buffer address and returns TRUE if found. It is
called during sccnprobe() and scprobe(). Both will fail if no video
card is found.
The second part, whose name stays the same as before, scinit(), is
called from sccninit() and scattach() to complete initialization of
the found video card.
The keyboard probe code is moved from scprobe() to sckbdprobe();
scprobe() now calls scvidprobe() and sckbdprobe() to carry out device
probe. (This is rather a cosmetic change, but it sure makes the code
look better organized.)

This is still not the correct solution. We shouldn't

pppd/natd work (rather than jamming the interface).

cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations.
The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource
management, and now it does. Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the
vfs_bio code now. The knobs came free because of the need that there
always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for
use. Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged
down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.
