and do some preparations for handling 12x22 fonts (currently lots of code
implies and/or hardcodes a font width of 8 pixels). This will be required
on sparc64 which uses a default font size of 12x22 in order to add font
loading and saving support as well as to use a syscons(4)-supplied mouse
pointer image.
This API breakage is committed now so it can be MFC'ed in time for 6.0
and later on upcoming framebuffer drivers destined for use on sparc64
and which are expected to rely on using font loading internally and on
a syscons(4)-supplied mouse pointer image can be easily MFC'ed to
RELENG_6 rather than requiring a backport.

Also save the DAC state, increase the maximum save state size from
4k to 8k, and refuse to save the VESA state if the BIOS reports it
is larger than the maximum size we can handle.
It doesn't appear that anything currently uses this code, but it
turns out to be capable of restoring some notebook displays to a
working state after a suspend-resume cycle.

A number of modules return EINVAL in this instance, and I have left

work when using a graphics chipset which identifies itself as
`VIA CLE266', used in some VIA EPIA boards. Two values need to be
patched in the VESA mode information structure: the widths of the modes
mentioned above are encoded in a format which was unknown to the VESA
module (and to my copy of the VBE spec.) whereas the window memory
segment values seem to be just incorrect.
I tested this on a VIA EPIA-M9000 and -M10000.
- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.
I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.

handles function keys properly.
- Reorganized the screen update routine.
- VT switching code is reorganized. It now should be slightly more
robust than before.
- Added the DEVICE_RESUME function so that syscons no longer hooks the
APM resume event directly.
- New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING,
SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE.
Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is

- The header file machine/console.h is reorganized; its contents is now
split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h
