- Define option FORCECONSPEED to force the serial console to
be CONSPEED. I've run into a lot of boards in which
the detect for prior speed doesn't work and ends up with
broken console since it is at the wrong speed.
- If a serial port is marked as a console, but console=vidconsole
and if the serial ports doesn't exist it will be probed and
attached at a 8250 chip. Then writes to that will freeze the
system.
- Add an option flags 0x400000 to mark this as a potential
comconsole in-case the one flaged with 0x10 does not exist
in the system.
This makes it easier to deploy on systems with one or two serial ports.

Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Add missing D_TTY flags to various drivers.
Complete asserts that dev_t's passed to ttyread(), ttywrite(),
ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() have (d_flags & D_TTY) and a struct tty
pointer.
Make ttyread(), ttywrite(), ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() the default
cdevsw methods for D_TTY drivers and remove the explicit initializations
in various drivers cdevsw structures.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
this problem put these lines back in. While they should be
unnecessary, they appear to be sometimes necessary.

with multiple ports on a shared interrupt demultiplexed by the puc_intr()
handler.
siointr1() first read as much input as possible and then checked all
possibly-relevant status registers, partly for robustness and partly
for historical reasons. This is very bad if it is called for every
port sharing an interrupt like puc_intr() does. It can spend too long
reading all the input for some ports when the interrupt is for a more
urgent event on another, or just too long checking all the status
registers when there are lots of ports. The inter-character time is
too long for reading all the input even when the interrupt is for a
transmitter interrupt on the same port, and at 921600 bps the inter-char
time is 10.85 usec and was often exceeded with just 2 ports, leaving
the transmitters idle for about 6% of the time.
The tweak is to break out of the read loop after reading 1 char if
output can be done. This avoids most of the idle transmitter time for
2 active ports at 921600 bps bidirectional on the test system. It
also reduces overhead by about 20%. More complete fixes use the
programmable tx low watermark on 16950's and reduce overhead by another
65%.

Changed this buffer from a circular one to a linear one. This is more
useful for some cases and the sysctl that prints it doesn't support
circular buffers.
Fixed (output) formatting bugs in this sysctl. An off by 1 error caused
a garbage byte to be returned after annotation of large deltas, and
a race with the writer sometimes caused premature string termination.

from fiddling with CS_TTGO since fiddling with CS_TTGO was removed in
rev.1.218 of the i386/isa version (which was merged with loss of history
in rev.1.223 of this version).
- Removed conversion of a zero input speed to the output speed. This
has been done better in ttioctl() since rev.1.108 of kern/tty.c
almost 5 years ago. comparam() did the conversion incompletely for
the case where the output speed is also zero. It had complications
to avoid using zero speeds, but would still have used a zero input
speed for setting watermarks if kern/tty.c had passed one.
- Never permit the input speed to be different from the output speed.
There was no validity check on the input speed for the case of a zero
output speed. Then we didn't change the physical speeds, but we used
the unvalidated input speed for setting watermarks and didn't return
an error, so ttioctl() stored the unvalidated input speed in the tty
struct where it could cause problems later.
- Removed complications that were to avoid using a divisor of 0. The
divisor is now always valid if the speed is accepted.
in the loopback test in the probe. The delay was too short for consoles
at speeds lower than about 3200 bps. This shouldn't have caused many
problems, since such low speeds are rare and the probe is forced to
succeed for consoles.
COM_NOFIFO() and COM_ESP cases are supposed to be a subsets of the
plain 16550A case, but 16650-related changes made the former fall into
the latter and then both fall into general code for printing the tx
fifo size. This mainly caused hard to parse boot messages like:
"sio0: type 16550A fifo disabled lookalike with 1 bytes FIFO".
COM_NOFIFO() on an ESP port gave a larger mess whose extent is not
clear.
Fixed some nearby style bugs.

access part of the code 4 times times or triple-space statements. This
fixes half of the style bugs in rev.1.172.
Hardware flow control of 16650As is still officially unsupported. I
was mistaken about it being broken. It is broken in 16650s but is
fixed in 16650As except for the maximum trigger level (which is no
longer used). Testing of the 16650's broken hardware flow control
watermarks by programming them on 16950s showed that their effects are
not too bad if the fifo size and trigger level are reasonably large
(16 is much better than 8).

The bits in the registers have no driver or bus dependencies but they
but the offsets of the registers in bus space are very bus-dependent.
However, it does no harm to keep the definitions of the register offsets
in ns16550.h provided they are thought of as internal ns*50 offsets.

when that case is not configured. This increased the relative overhead
of sio input by almost 25% in the worst case and by 2-3% in the usual
case (usually only about 0.2% absolute per port at 115200 bps). The
quick fix is to significantly pessimize only the COM_IIR_RXRDYBUG()
case.

- Change the apm driver to match the acpi driver's behavior by checking to
see if the device is disabled in the identify routine instead of in the
probe routine. This way if the device is disabled it is never created.
Note that a few places (ips(4), Alpha SMP) used "disable" instead of
"disabled" for their hint names, and these hints must be changed to
"disabled". If this is a big problem, resource_disabled() can always be
changed to honor both names.

this card is based on 16750 UART, modify sio(4) a bit to ignore 16750-specific
7th bit of MCR when probing card. This allows card to be detected and attached
as 16550A-compatible device. More work needs to be done in order to enable
nice 16750-specific features such as larger fifo buffer and higher speeds.
