signals (such as SIGSEGV) and should be compatible with Digital Unix.

* Update drivers to the latest version of the bus interface.
The ISA drivers' use of the new resource api is minimal. Garrett has
some much cleaner drivers which should be more easily shared between
i386 and alpha. This has only been tested on cia based machines. It
should work on lca and apecs but I might have broken something.

* Change the calling convention of the device mmap entry point to
pass a vm_offset_t instead of an int for the offset allowing
devices with a larger memory map than (1<<32) to be supported
on the alpha (/dev/mem is one such).
These changes are required to allow the X server to mmap the various
I/O regions used for device port and memory access on the alpha.

* Fix AlphaStation 500/600 so that non-serial consoles are supported.

and dies if it can't find the MFS root whereas the x86 one seems to sail
past. Looking at the code, I can't see how either one works, so I'm
confused. :)
This is the bulk of the support for doing kld modules. Two linker_sets
were replaced by SYSINIT()'s. VFS's and exec handlers are self registered.
kld is now a superset of lkm. I have converted most of them, they will
follow as a seperate commit as samples.
This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.
independent elf loader and have access to kld modules. Jordan and I were
not sure how to create boot floppies, and the things we tried just made
SRM laugh in our faces - but it was upset at boot1 which was not touched
by these changes. Essentially this has been untested. :-(
What this does is to steal the last three slots from the nine spare longs
in the bootinfo_v1 struct to pass the module base pointer through.
The startup code now to set up and fills in the module and environment
structures, hopefully close enough to the i386 layout to be able to use
the same kernel code. We now pass though the updated end of the kernel
space used, rather than _end. (like the i386).
If this does not work, it needs to be beaten into shape pronto. Otherwise
it should be backed out before 3.0.

Change the ELF registration/unregistration scheme to be less error prone.
Adding a new brand requires a single addition to linux_brandlist instead of
modifying linux_load(), linux_unload(), and linux_elf_init().
