will see it. The name of the file is obtained by appending ".config"
to the name of the kernel file. If the file doesn't exist, then an
annoying message is printed.
Reduced the command line buffer size yet again from 4096 to 1024. It is
oversized to defend against overrun in gets(), but data space is starting
to run out so the buffer size can't be as grossly oversized as before.
- Added support for "dual" internal/serial consoles (-D flag). If -D is set,
then all i/o from the boot blocks is to and from both the internal console
and the serial console. -D has no effect on the kernel (-h decides the
kernel serial console as usual). -D should normally be set in /boot.config.
- Get help messages from /boot.help. You should copy boot.help from the
biosboot directory to the root directory on the boot drive when you
install new boot blocks.
- New, less invasive keyboard probe. Enable keyboard probe dynamically (-P
flag). Should probably never be used (use -h instead).
- Fixed/improved initialization from boot.config. It didn't interact correctly
with the NAMEBLOCK option, and the initialization of the drive/unit/partition
didn't stick when a non-default kernel name was entered.
- Don't reset or forget the default drive/unit/... or kernel name so often.
- Set the default kernel name to something unbootable after `?'.
- Display the defaults better.
- Removed PROBE_KEYBOARD_LOCK option (use -h instead).,
- Removed BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE option (use device flag 0x20 instead).
- Removed -a (RB_HALT) flag. This flag is only used for reboots.

cost since it is only done in cpu_switch(), not for every exception.
The extra state is kept in the pcb, and handled much like the npx state,
with similar deficiencies (the state is not preserved across signal
handlers, and error handling loses state).
that I snuck in to our GDB last year. This allows you to debug headless
machines by sharing the console port between the debugger and the system
console. It's not 100% reliabile, but it works well. It's optional
and disabled by default.

speed using the boot blocks, instead of a hardcoded value stuck in the
kernel. This way, you can have systems using the same kernel but different
console speeds.
Add a sysctl entry for changing the system console speed.
Lock the user tty speed to match the system console speed.

that lkm's can use them for fiddling the masks without being dependent on
which mode the kernel is compiled in (SMP or UP). This is particularly
for ppp_tty.c which has some domain crossing between the net and tty
subsystems. The values are not used in the spl code, they are for
reference only (ie: the compiled code uses immediate values rather than
an indirect 32 bit address and 32 bit data fetch).

faster with the bit scanning instruction that looks these up - this set of
changes reverts the original change.

rather than inlines. These are compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer and
work out pretty close to the original routines, but it might be a fraction
slower. The reason for doing this is to prevent the SWI_* and HWI_* values
from being compiled into drivers and lkms etc which is one of the things
that prevents the same lkm from being used on both SMP and UP kernels.
This gives us a lot more scope for experimenting with the splxxx
implementaton for SMP parallelism etc.
