There's something that's been bugging me for a while, so I decided to fix it.
FreeBSD now will DTRT WRT DDB and DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), at least
in my opinion. The behavior change is such that:
1. Nothing changes when debugger_on_panic != 0.
2. When DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), if a panic occurs, the
machine will reboot. Also, if a trap occurs, the machine will
panic and reboot, unlike how it broke to DDB before. HOWEVER,
a trap inside DDB will not cause a panic, allowing full use
of DDB without having to worry about the machine being stuck
at a DDB prompt if something goes wrong during the day.
Patches for this behavior follow my signature, and it would
be a boon to anyone (like me) who uses DDB_UNATTENDED, but
actually wants the machine to panic on a trap (otherwise,
what's the use, if the machine causes a fatal trap rather than
a true panic, of debugger_on_panic?). The changes cause no
adverse behavior, but do involve two symbols becoming global

kernel as a pseudo-device. The changes were:
- #ifdef DEBUG -> #ifdef VINUMDEBUG
- opt_vinum.h for holding above config variable
- Fixing up a few stray problems where DEBUG wasn't optional.
- config.c -> vinumconfig.c (there's already a config.o)
- Other *.c -> vinum*.c (wasn't strictly necessary, but done in case we end
up with something else conflicting later on and we might have to have yet
more repository copies of files).
- include file paths fixups.. (ie: get them all from the kernel tree
instead of partly from the kernel and partly from /usr/include/machine)
I've spoken with Greg about this.. I hope this doesn't mess him around
too much..
man(1) will utilize manpath(1) if MANPATH is unset in the environment,
and with our existing manpath.config it is enough to find the X11
pages among others.

CPU_WT_ALLOC does not work correctly for K6-2s of model 8+ and
probably K6-3s (when they appear on the market soon). In addition,
print_AMD_info() incorrectly printfs write allocation's size. I've
fixed them, so they now Do The Right Thing, and added a
"NO_MEMORY_HOLE" option to easily allow 15-16mb range handling for us
K6 and K6-2 users.

ISDN4BSD is the work of our brand-new comitter: Hellmuth Michaelis,
who has done a tremendous amount of work to bring us this far.
There are still some outstanding issues and files to bring into
the tree, and for now it will be needed to pick up all the extra
docs from the isdn4bsd release.
It is probably also a very good idea to subscribe to the isdn@freebsd.org
mailing list before you try this out.
These files correspond to release "beta Version 0.70.00 / December
1998" from Hellmuth.
last cleanup. Since the oid_arg2 field of struct sysctl_oid is not wide
enough to hold a long, the SYSCTL_LONG() macro has been modified to only
support exporting long variables by pointer instead of by value.
