B_ASYNC flag broke things pretty bad (freeing buffer already on
queue or other wierd buffer queue errors.) The broken code is
left in commented out, but this makes the problem go away for
now.
(1) Add PC98 support to apm_bios.h and ns16550.h, remove pc98/pc98/ic
(2) Move PC98 specific code out of cpufunc.h (to pc98.h)
(3) Let the boot subtrees look more alike

modified. Pages that are removed by the pageout daemon were
the worst affected. Additionally, numerous minor cleanups,
including better handling of busy page table pages. This
commit fixes the worst of the pmap problems recently introduced.
biosextmem > 65536, but biosextmem is a 16-bit quantity so it is
guaranteed to be < 65536. Related cruft for biosbasemem was
mostly cleaned up in rev.1.26.
It worked because it is spelled correctly in LINT.
Added old obscure syscons options MAXCONS, SLOW_VGA and XT_KEYBOARD.
This file should be sorted both alphabetically and on the module
name by using a consistent prefix for each module, but there is no
consistency in the old options. E.g., MAXCONS is spelled PCVT_NSCREENS
for pcvt.
and xdm, possibly in general.
What was happening was that the server was doing a tcsetattr(.. TCSADRAIN)
on the mouse fd after a write. Since /dev/sysmouse had a null t_oproc,
the drain failed with EIO. Somehow this spammed XFree86 (!@&^#%*& binary
release!!), and the driver was left in a bogus state (ie: switch_in_progress
permanently TRUE).
The simplest way out was to implement a dummy scmousestart() routine to
accept any characters from the tty system and toss them into the void.
It would probably be more correct to intercept scwrite()'s to the mouse
device, but that's executed for every single write to the screen.
Supplying a start routine to eat the characters is only executed for the
mouse port during startup/shutdown, so it should be faster.
-I- to CFLAGS. <sb.h> must currently be used to give the version
of sb.h in the current directory, while "sb.h" in the buggy version
gave the (wrong) version in the source directory. Searching in the
source directory first is normal, but is the reverse of the order
suggested by the 4.4Lite2 #include style. -I- will remove the
ambiguities.
Sorry if this makes it harder to merge in lite2 stuff but hey..
At least I can figure out what is going on whenever I end up going through those
files again..
do we have a policy regarding commenting existing code?
This enables other consumers of the mouse, to get it info via
moused/syscons.
In order to use it run moused (from sysconfig), and then tell
your Xserver that it should use /dev/sysmouse (mknod sysmouse c 12 128)
and it a mousesystems mouse. Everybody will be happy then :)
Remember that moused still needs to know what kind of mouse you
have..
Comments welcome, as is test results...
The default level works with minimal overhead, but one can also enable
full, efficient use of a 512K cache. (Parameters can be generated
to support arbitrary cache sizes also.)
(A pointer to a const was misused to avoid loading loading the same
value twice, but gcc does exactly the same optimization automatically.
It can see that the value hasn't changed.)
- avoiding strcmp("?" saved 12 bytes. gcc inlined the strcmp()
but this takes as much or more code as a function call. The
inlining was bogus because the strcmp() in the bootstrap isn't
standard.
- using a char instead of an int for the boolean `last_only' saved 8
bytes. Booleans should usually be represented as chars on the i386.
- simplifying the return tests saved 9 bytes.
- using putc instead of printf to print a newline saved 3 bytes of code
and 2 bytes of const data.
- avoiding `else's by always doing the else clause and fixing it up
saved 4+8 bytes.
gcc always generates large code for accesses to globals. For locals
it only generates large code if there are more than 128 bytes of
locals. It sorts scalar locals after array locals to pessimize for
space in the usual case when there are more (static) references to
scalars than to arrays.
Saved another 16 bytes (13 before padding) by adding a `continue'.
Fall-through tests normally save space, but here one of them made
gcc do space-unoptimal register allocation (it allocates ch in %bl
because preserving this register across function calls is "free",
but comparisions with %bl take one byte fewer than comparsions with
%bl).
