Other modules can register and unregister ioctl handlers to extend the
ioctls known by the Linuxulator. A recent application is the vmware
port. The Linuxulator itself uses the new interface to register its
handlers as well. Handlers for the following types of ioctls have been
defined:
cdrom
console (=keyboard and VT handling)
socket
sound
termio
All ioctl related defines and declarations have been moved to a new
file (linux_ioctl.h), except for the pluggable ioctl handler interface
definition.
While there, cleanup linux.h some more.
linux.h and linux_ioctl.[ch] have been made to conform to style(9) as
much as possible.

device_add_child_ordered(). 'ivars' may now be set using the
device_set_ivars() function.
This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.
Despite my best efforts I've probably forgotten something so let me know
if this breaks anything. I've been running with this change for months
and its been quite involved actually isolating all the changes from
the rest of the local changes in my tree.

Note that we are counting time spent in software interrupt handlers as
interrupt time, so this invalidates the i386 meaning of intr_nesting_level.

the ISA pic. This prevents a conflict between isa & pci for irqs on such
machines.
Also hookup the chipset struct before calling platform.pci_intr_init().
This allows me to call inw/outw down in the platform code.
Add interrupt printfs to match the CIA chipset.

The old code was spread out through the machdep code and was sloppy about
enabling and disabling the FEN bit (which controls access to the FP
register set). This caused a DIAGNOSTIC warning "DANGER WILL ROBINSON:
FEN SET IN cpu_fork!" sometimes when operating under high loads and could
conceivably lead to processes getting incorrect FP results.
The new code is much more strict about the FEN bit and makes sure that
*only* fpcurproc ever has it enabled. This also allows us to remove a
section of code from the exception_return path which might improve
performance marginally.

filesystem is discovered. Preference is given to using the kernel
environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom, which is set by the loader
according to the contents of /etc/fstab. Changes in the MD code
provide fallback mechanisms for systems not using the loader.
A more robust fallback path is also provided, with the last recourse
being to prompt on the console for a root device.
These changes drastically simplify the machine-dependant parts of
the root configuration process. In addition, support for CDROM root
devices has been removed; it was a nasty hack and didn't work.

If the ipl is lowered here, a machine can rapidly run out of stack
