syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

fragmentation problem due to geteblk() reserving too much space for the
buffer and imposes a larger granularity (16K) on KVA reservations for
the buffer cache to avoid fragmentation issues. The buffer cache size
calculations have been redone to simplify them (fewer defines, better
comments, less chance of running out of KVA).
The geteblk() fix solves a performance problem that DG was able reproduce.
This patch does not completely fix the KVA fragmentation problems, but
it goes a long way

not introduce (hopefully) any functional changes but gets rid of
the #ifdef spaghetti pcvt suffered from more and more over the
years.
Several no more used parts of the source were removed, others
which are used by default are now non-optional components:
PCVT_NETBSD removed completety
PCVT_FREEBSD removed option, code is now standard
PCVT_KBD_FIFO removed option, code is now standard
PCVT_EMU_MOUSE removed completety
PCVT_SW0CNOUTP removed completety
PCVT_PORTIO_DELAY obsolete, removed
PCVT_KEYBDID removed option, code is now standard
PCVT_SIGWINCH removed option, code is now standard
PCVT_PALFLICKER removed completety
PCVT_WAITRETRACE removed completety
PCVT_NOFASTSCROLL removed option, code is now standard
PCVT_USL_VT_COMPAT removed the "old" non-vt Xserver code completely,
depending on XSERVER, this code is now standard.
Pcvt userland cleanup will follow as well as newbusifying the
kernel part.

its definition out to a header file, just as struct isa_device was defined
in a header file. This fixes the sysinstall breakage in -current.

Remove the alternate method, it doesn't do any good, only ruins performance.

field in struct buf: b_iocmd. The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.
B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.
Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.
Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.
This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

it's options COMPAT_OLDISA and COMPAT_OLDPCI. This is meant to be a
fairly strong incentive to update the older drivers to newbus, but doesn't
(quite) leave anybody hanging with no hardware support. I was talking with
a few folks and I was encouraged to simply break or disable the shims but
that was a bit too drastic for my liking.
The new boot1/boot2 can load a.out and elf kernels directly.
I think the sys/pc98 version can go too as the sys/boot/pc98 code
appears to be functional, but I'll leave that for the pc98 folks.

ejection. Other drivers may also require this modification.

- IBM ScrollPoint: 2 buttons on top and a stick between the buttons.
The stick can perform "horizontal scroll" in W*ndows environment.
The horizontal movement of the stick is detected. It is currently
mapped to the Z axis movement in the same way as the first wheel.
The mouse is recognized as "MouseMan+", as it is considered to be
a variation of MouseMan.

of the second wheel is reported as the Z axis movement in the
same way as the first wheel. These mice are recognized as "4D
Mouse" and "4D+ Mouse".
- Tweak IntelliMouse support code a bit so that less-than-compatible
wheel mice can work properly with the psm driver.
- Add driver configuration flags which correspond to the kernel
options PSM_HOOKRESUME and PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND, so that we don't
need to recompile the kernel when we need these functions.
