much as I'd like to, but the malloc stunt I tried for an interim for
sure does worse.
Now we can read and write from any kind of address-space, not only
user and kernel, using callbacks.
This may be over-generalization for now, but it's actually simpler.
Included <sys/sysproto.h> to get central declarations for syscall args
structs and prototypes for syscalls.
Ifdefed duplicated decentralized declarations of args structs. It's
convenient to have this visible but they are hard to maintain. Some
are already different from the central declarations. 4.4lite2 puts
them in comments in the function headers but I wanted to avoid the
large changes for that.
in here to do some conflict detection. The new code doesn't do conflict
detection yet, but it will be implemented in another way.
aic7770.c moved to i386/eisa
misplaced extern declarations (mostly prototypes of interrupt handlers)
that this exposed. The prototypes should be moved back to the driver
sources when the functions are staticalized.
Added idempotency guards to <machine/conf.h>. "ioconf.h" can't be
included when building LKMs so define a wart in bsd.kmod.mk to help
guard against including it.
/dev/random is now a part of the kernel! you will need to make
the device in /dev: sh MAKEDEV random
and take a look at some test code in src/tools/test/random.
the kernel. ppp_tty.c goes to some lengths to minimise the inter-layer
calling (including a soft ISR). ppp_tty.c takes care of the soft masking
that was needed still.
(I've discovered that bugs in this area show up within an hour if the
masking was not correct.. :-} This combination has proven stable on
specialix serial ports, although there was some concern about the softtty
parts of sio/cy and netisr colliding - but Bruce has fixed that now)
This code will only be included in your kernel if you have
'options DEVRANDOM', but that will fall away in a couple of days.

Change the test on the initial value of the CONF1_ADDR_PORT register in a way
that makes the probe succeed on triton based motherboards, without breaking
the EISA motherboard that has some non-PCI register at the same address.
Require the state of the configuration enable bits to be OFF assuming
that the BIOS left them that way, as it should anyway to avoid bad things
to happen.
The tests themselves are copied from the previous release, with the
exception of CONF1_ENABLE_MSK1 having the LSB set. This bit should be
read back as '0', since only DWORD addresses are legal.
free-run and doing a subtract in microtime() rather than resetting the
counter to zero at every clock tick. In combination with the changes to
kern_clock.c, this should eliminate all the immediately obvious sources
of systematic jitter in timekeeping on Pentium machines.
option DDB_NO_LCALLS to stop ddb getting control and broke all ddb
tracing. Now there is no option and no way for ddb to trace at
address _Xsyscall or to _Xsyscall, but tracing everywhere else
works. The previous fix did unnecessary things for Linux syscalls.
Don't bother checking that syscall frames are for user mode.
Make debugger traps inside the kernel (except at addresses _Xsyscall
and _Xsyscall+1) fatal if ddb is not configured. They "can't happen".
Add prototypes.
Remove stupid comments, e.g., /*ARGSUSED*/ for args that are used.

Changes relative to 1.12:
- Put extra instruction between outl()/inl() sequence to prevent the
old value being read back because of the bus capacitance.
- Additional check for existence of register at CONF2_ENABLE_PORT.

completely separate steps.
While we're at it, pull in the whole set of Cyrix cache control options
from NetBSD-current, since a few motherboards do the right thing with
the Cyrix chip.
There is no option to disable the internal cache completely (yet).

2) Killed i386pagesperpage as it is not used by anything.
3) Fixed benign miscalculations in pmap_bootstrap().
4) Moved allocation of ISA DMA memory to machdep.c.
5) Removed bogus vm_map_find()'s in pmap_init() - the entire range was
already allocated kmem_init().
6) Added some comments.
virual_avail is still miscalculated NKPT*NBPG too large, but in order to
