Use the name argument almost the same in all LKM types. Maintain
the current behavior for the external (e.g., modstat) name for DEV,
EXEC, and MISC types being #name ## "_mod" and SYCALL and VFS only
#name. This is a candidate for change and I vote just the name without
the "_mod".
Change the DISPATCH macro to MOD_DISPATCH for consistency with the
other macros.
Add an LKM_ANON #define to eliminate the magic -1 and associated
signed/unsigned warnings.
Add MOD_PRIVATE to support wcd.c's poking around in the lkm structure.
Change source in tree to use the new interface.

etc/make.conf:
Nuked HAVE_FPU option.
lib/msun/Makefile:
Always build the i387 objects. Copy the i387 source files at build
time so that the i387 objects have different names. This is simpler
than renaming the files in the cvs repository or repeating half of
bsd.lib.mk to add explicit rules.
lib/msun/src/*.c:
Renamed all functions that have an i387-specific version by adding
`__generic_' to their names.
lib/msun/src/get_hw_float.c:
New file for getting machdep.hw_float from the kernel.
sys/i386/include/asmacros.h:
Abuse the ENTRY() macro to generate jump vectors and associated code.
This works much like PIC PLT dynamic initialization. The PIC case is
messy. The old i387 entry points are renamed. Renaming is easier
here because the names are given by macro expansions.
create a skeleton device driver.
one for a real device and the other for a pseudo device.
they each take one argument which is the name (prefix) for the driver.
they add the new file to the /sys tree and add appropriate config files
etc for a build.
hopefully others will build on this so that we get
1/ these drivers improved and the shell scripts
improved in how/where that hook the new code in.
2/ similar tools for providing skeletons for other
modules (I'm tempted to do a VFS filesystem skeleton :)
please take a look and fix anything that maybe should be added.
they compile and link fine,
but I think I wouldn't trust them, as faar as RUNNING yet :)
(well they really wouldn't do very much being skeletons..
we need to add PCI and EISA skeletons as well
followed by a SCSI driver skeleton.
- Use MAP_FAILED instead of the constant -1 to indicate
failure (required by POSIX).
- Removed flag arguments of '0' (required by POSIX).
- Fixed code which expected an error return of 0.
- Fixed code which thought any address with the high bit set
was an error.
- Check for failure where no checks were present.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Add all of the possible errno's to example.3.
Show examples of the .Bx (BSD) and .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
in the various HISTORY sections.
Add some .Rs/.Re (used for referencing things other
than man pages) in the SEE ALSO sections.

The old stuff can be removed from the Attic.

at them.
Also did some general cleanups, and corrected some errors.

possible, since they correspond with the CVSup release whose port is
going to go into 2.2.
