3b1bd5ae35 Ignore, rather than emulate, an i386 'hlt' instruction (though for 
most practical purposes, this should be indistinguishable from a
more strictly correct approach).

4c1a7a5a8f Make the BTX loader much more quiet about what it's doing. This removes 
most of the "what the (*^&%(*^ was that?" stuff that normally flies by.

f41c619d3d Pop the return address off the stack before making a V86_CALLF call; 
this allows us to implement what look like C function calls from user
space "directly" to v86 mode code.  (Used for calling the PnP BIOS)

024e2ede72 The BIOS memory size is only a word. Some BIOSsen have garbage in the other 
16 bits we were reading here, causing loss of arguments.

3948b979ba For system calls, reboot without prompting; for exceptions, display 
message and await reset.

9cd66506dd Map all BTX system pages readable at ring 3. 
This resolves the firmware problem first raised in connection
with PR 8105, although unrelated.

948486abe3 Initial integration of the i386 bootloader and BTX. 
- Discard large amounts of BIOS-related code in favour of the more compact
   BTX vm86 interface.
 - Build the loader module as ELF, although the resulting object is a.out,
   make gensetdefs 32/64-bit sensitive and use a single copy of it.
 - Throw away installboot, as it's no longer required.
 - Use direct bcopy operations in the i386_copy module, as BTX
   maps the first 16M of memory.  Check operations against the
   detected size of actual memory.

0d5d0b20dc Resynch with working sources before BTX integration. 
- Use format-independant module allocator.
 - Conditionalise ISA PnP support.
 - Simplify PnP enumerator interface.
 - Improve module/object searching.
 - Add missing depend/install targets in BTX makefiles.
 - Pass the kernel environment and module data in extended bootinfo fields.
 - Add a pointer to the end of the kernel + modules in bootinfo.
 - Fix parsing of old-style kernel arguments.

aa7af79537 BTX (aka the boot extender) is an i386 kernel that hosts 32-bit 
bootstrap programs, and provides page-level protection, hardware
interrupt reflection, a virtual-8086 mode interface to BIOS, etc.
