Overall very good content, but we need one of our wordsmiths to change the
tone to match the CSRG manpages.
"I've been having a problem running the patches [committed to current]
installed with the COMPAT_LINUX_THREADS option along
with the VM_STACK patches I did. I'm not sure what
the problem is, since it seemed to work before.
In any event, the attached patch fixes the problem for
me. While I've had no report of problems from anyone
else, possibly it would be wise to commit the patch
until the problem is found.
Also, there was some left-over junk in the linux_misc.c
file from some earlier work I did. The attached patch
cleans that up too."

in cyopen() were done in a different order than in sioopen(), partly
to (ab)use a side effect of comparam() and partly because I didn't
understand what the reset was doing (it flushes the fifos). This
turned out to be more than a cosmetic problem. Flushing the fifos
quite late is good for discarding input that arrived while the line
state was being initialized, and in the cy driver it also seems to
reduce a problem with input that arrived long ago during the previous
close (the UART loses sync too easily and for too long).
merge). This fixes at least hanging in revoke(2) when a somewhat
active slave pty is revoked. The hang made the window for the
null pointer bug in ufsspec_{read,write} much larger.
There are many other bugs in this area (revoke of an active fifo
at best leaks memory...).
may be revoked, so vnop routines must be careful about accessing
the vnode if they may have blocked.
Fixed marking for update after successfully reading or writing 0
bytes. In this case, POSIX.1 specifies marking if and only if the
requested count is nonzero, but rev.1.86 never marked.
change the original code but add an extra option "ALI_V" to check the
precise IDE port.(especially, secondary) Use the same option "ALI_V" on
the kernel config file to prevent generic DMA check causes wrong result.
(It seems buggy even on PIIX4 chipset, and I don't know when this bug start)
Should I add the option "ALI_V" into /sys/i386/conf/LINT ?

My Random-House dictionary doesn't list them, and grog says (paraphrased):
SOED only accepts 'corelate's, and it just notes corelate as an
alternative (and obviously not exactly mainstream) spelling for
correlate.
(yes these spellings tripped me)
they use the same value in the VID register.

Rename 'cerror' to '.cerror' so that programs which have a function or
global variable named 'cerror' don't completely break the syscall error
