There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
have successfully built, booted, and run a number of different ELF
kernel configurations, including GENERIC. LINT also builds and
links cleanly, though I have not tried to boot it.
The impact on developers is virtually nil, except for two things.
All linker sets that might possibly be present in the kernel must be
listed in "sys/i386/i386/setdefs.h". And all C symbols that are
also referenced from assembly language code must be listed in
"sys/i386/include/asnames.h". It so happens that failure to do
these things will have no impact on the a.out kernel. But it will
break the build of the ELF kernel.
The ELF bootloader works, but it is not ready to commit quite yet.

Added obsolete option GATEWAY so that kern_opt.c gets tested.

that all of kern/kern_lockf.c shouldn't have been moved from ufs.
The debugging parts are very fs-dependent.

allocation than EXTRAVNODES (except in -current between 1995/10/28 and
1996/11/12, kern.maxvnodes was read-only and thus useless).
I have no idea if this works since I don't have one of the cards to test.
I also don't know what the LINT and GENERIC entries should look like,
so I just made up some values for now and left them commented out.

negative-logic flags (flags 0x01 and 0x02 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
This changes the default from off to on. The options have been in current
for several months with no problems reported.
Added a boot-time negative-logic flag for the old I5886_FAST_BCOPY option
which went away too soon (flag 0x04 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
Added a boot-time way to set the memory size (iosiz in config, iosize in
userconfig for npx0).
LINT:
Removed old options. Documented npx0's flags and iosiz.
options.i386:
Removed old options.
identcpu.c:
Don't set the function pointers here. Setting them has to be delayed
until after userconfig has had a chance to disable them and until after
a good npx0 has been detected.
machdep.c:
Use npx0's iosize instead of MAXMEM if it is nonzero.

Added vectors and glue code for copyin() and copyout().
Fixed ifdefs for i586_bzero().
Added ifdefs for i586_bcopy().
