cleaning up some of the vnode usage..
(I'm sure it still needs more..)
where can one find out what each vfs call expects to be locked
on completion, and how can one find out what each layer expects
to be freed on error.?
it only barely works so don't get too carried away..
I noticed that teh symlink is length 0..
I guess I'll fix that tomorrow..
it also sometimes panics with "cleaned vnode isn't" but it's not more
broken than it was before.. I really want to go over it with someone
who understands the lifecycle of a vnode better than I do..

. preserve a multi-char sequence in a small static buffer inside
pccngetc(), so it won't be clobbered later (used to happen when
breaking into DDB user Ctrl-Alt-ESC), and
. simplify the ``keystroke is present'' determination in sgetc(), thus
making pccncheck() actually working without waiting for a keystroke.
for work regardless of whether there was an interrupt. This needs more
work, it should be able to run better when there are more than 3 host
cards present, ie: all cards in polling-only mode with no IRQ. (The
host cards have a choice of 3 irq's, 11, 12, or 15, or just polling)
IPPORT_RESERVED that is used for selection when bind() is told to allocate
a reserved port.
Also, implement simple sanity checking for all the addresses set, to make
it a little harder for a user/sysadmin to shoot themselves in the feet.
little more reliably. So far I've received a couple of positive
responses and no objections to these changes.
There are two one-line changes:
- In wdprobe(), when testing the error status of drives, don't
unconditionally decide that there is no controller present if we
read back a value of 0x81 (drive 0 okay, drive 1 failed) twice
in a row. This may be caused by having an ATAPI CD-ROM jumpered
as a master on the controller with no slave.
- In wdgetctlr(), when checking for a status of WDCS_READY, check the
value twice. The first time may be bogus. This stops a phantom wd2
device from being detected when an ATAPI CD-ROM is attached to the
secondary controller alone as a slave. (This can cause installation to
fail when sysinstall attempts to open the phantom device and wedges the
system as a result. This has bitten me a couple of times on some
Gateway 2000 machines.)
. make pccncheck() work even when interrupts are disabled, so the
``Press a key on the console...'' procedure will work,
. make kernel colors #ifndef, so they can be overridden from the
config file,
. use shutdown_nice() instead of cpu_reset() if Ctrl-Alt-Del is
enabled,
. allow pccngetc() to return more than a single character, so the
arrow keys will work (and thus visual UserConfig!),
. fix a warning.
This closes all know PRs related to pcvt, in particular #845, #1236,
and #1265. PR #991 is a duplicate for 845, and PR #1283 has already
been fixed earlier in rev 1.11 of pcvt_conf.h.

Emacs-style line editing has already been there (did anybody ever
notice this? :), so i `only' had to add ^P and ^N. The approach is
fairly minimalistic, with the advantage of keeping the bloat as small
as 864 bytes of .text and 16 bytes of .bss, plus 10*120 bytes

This hack makes this 89.999928 Mhz clock correctly round to the closer

allow a tunnel interface to be openned even if it has no remote address yet.
this may be needed if you have used
route add default -interface tun0
where the remote end might not even HAVE a number (e.g. netcom links)
This is a patch to sys/net/if.c. What it does is patch the algorithm
for finding an IP address on an interface which most closely matches
a given IP address. The problem with it is when no address matches,
and you have to just pick one at random. Then the code ends up picking
the last IP address in the list. This patch changes things so it
picks up the first address instead.
Usually the first address is more useful as the later ones are aliases.

Changed i586_ctr_bias from long long to u_int. Only the low 32 bits
are used now that microtime uses a multiplication to do the scaling.
Previously the high 32 bits had to match those of rdtsc() to prevent
overflow traps and invalid timeval adjustments.

calls Debugger() and returns without setting bp->b_error.
This can happen when there is a casting error and offsets > 2G are
converted to negative off_t's in the disk tools. (dumpfs used to do this).
