This is a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..
NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..
certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)
The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.
warnings and are cosmetic only. Poul once requested them, but neither
Sean nor Søren commented on them, so i commit it now before it's
getting lost some day.
This is the main files for the iBCS2 emulator. It can be use
compiled into the kernel by using:
options IBCS2
options COMPAT_IBCS2
or as a lkm module using:
options COMPAT_IBCS2
and then loading it via the ibcs2 script in /usr/bin
REMEMBER: this code is still experimental ! NO WARRENTY !
