problem is worked around by using an interrupt gate for the page
fault handler. This code was originally made for NetBSD/pc98 by
Naofumi Honda <honda@kururu.math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp> and has already
been in PC98 tree. Because of this bug, trap_fatal cannot show
correct page fault address if %cr2 is obtained in this function.
Therefore, trap_fatal uses the value from trap() function.
- The trap handler always enables interruption when buggy application
or kernel code has disabled interrupts and then trapped. This code
was prepared by Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>.

going to want a major number from that list instead. Also use the
same preallocated local range (500-600) for blkdevs as well as cdevs,
just to be orthogonal. The latter was for Brian, who has a *lot*
of local device drivers and needs more than just a single reserved
number.
out interrupts for too long. If you still see the "calcru: negative
time..." message you can increase NTIMECOUNTER (see LINT).
Sideeffect is that a timecounter is required to not wrap around in
less than (1 + delta) seconds instead of the (1/hz + delta) required
until now.

file to a stream socket. sendfile(2) is similar to implementations in
HP-UX, Linux, and other systems, but the API is more extensive and
addresses many of the complaints that the Apache Group and others have
had with those other implementations. Thanks to Marc Slemko of the
Apache Group for helping me work out the best API for this.
Anyway, this has the "net" result of speeding up sends of files over
TCP/IP sockets by about 10X (that is to say, uses 1/10th of the CPU
cycles) when compared to a traditional read/write loop.
Interrupt handlers are now configured in drivers.
Didn't update config/SMM.doc. It doesn't have any i386 examples (not
even `isa').
Bumped CONFIGVERS. This is not necessary for -current yet, but using
the new config with old system sources gives null pointers for all
vectors.
{ port_name = "IO_TIMER", port_number = 1 } and only worked because
it was reassembled to "IO_TIMER1". Trailing digits always work, but
this is too magic to depend on.
Don't quote port names that don't have a digit in them.
RealTek 8129/8139 chipset like I've been threatening. Update kernel
configs, userconfig.c, relnotes and sysinstall. No man page yet;
comming soon.
I consider this driver stable enough that I want to give it some
exposure in -current.
