also affects spec_vnopen() (IIRC), but only makes the path of execution smaller,
and does not change its behavior. This is when securelevel >= 2.
the OS does FXSAVE/FXRESTOR instructions (fast FPU save/restore) during
context switching and also enables SIMD since this enables saving the
extra CPU context that isn't saved with normal FPU regs. The other
enables the SIMD instructions to use exception 16 (FPU) error reporting.
Note, this doesn't turn on SIMD, just defines the bits.

so that we have a consistent interface to userland applications.

the Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 chipsets, including the Jaton Corporation
XPressNet. Datasheet is available from www.davicom8.com.
The DM910x chips are still more tulip clones. The API is reproduced
pretty faithfully, unfortunately the performance is pretty bad. The
transmitter seems to have a lot of problems DMAing multi-fragment
packets. The only way to make it work reliably is to coalesce transmitted
packets into a single contiguous buffer. The Linux driver (written by
Davicom) actually does something similar to this. I can't recomment this
NIC as anything more than a "connectivity solution."
This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both i386
and alpha platforms.

SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw.
This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast
hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and
receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is
pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This
driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and
alpha architectures.
1. Move definitions of struct i386_*_args to the header file sysarch.h,
since they are part of the sysarch API. struct i386_get_ldt_args and
i386_set_ldt_args were identical, therefore make them into one
struct i386_ldt_args. Libc should use these definitions as well.
2. Return a more sensible EOPNOTSUPP for unknown operations.

This commit also enables the new pcm driver since it is somewhat tied to

Treat the eisa/isa attach a little differently so that we defer the
decision about to attach eisa/isa to the motherboard directly only if
the PCI probe (if it exists) fails to turn up a PCI->EISA/ISA bridge.
This restores the original device geometry where ISA and/or EISA attach
to their bridge rather than bypassing and going to the root.

This driver is the first to make use of the miibus code once I'm sure
