This is a place for all things to do with conf.c and conf.h
that are not machine specific.
Other things that are at present in i386/isa/conf.c might
migrate into here..
It's the first small step in cleaning up the device interface
to make it more dynamic and to assist in more modular drivers
(i.e. both loadable via LKMs and linked in..
e.g able to add a device without having to edit conf.c)
this code is not yet used and the whole thing will be conditionally
compiled in for a while till proven useful :)
matching IP options..Check and test this - i made only a couple
of rough tests and this could be buggy.. Ipaccounting can't use
IP Options (and i don't see any need to cound packets with specific
options either..)
More to come...
sh -c [-aCefinuvx] command_string [ command_name [argument ...] ] 1

-c Read commands from the command_string operand. Set the
value of special parameter 0 (see 3.5.2) from the value of
the command_name operand and the positional parameters
($1, $2, etc.) in sequence from the remaining argument
operands.

Conditionalize the informational boot messages with "if (bootverbose)".
1) "obj" was't initialized properly, resulting in an important vm_page_lookup
always failing (resulting in a panic).
2) busy pages could be put on the cache queue or freed (resulting in a panic).
to return ECHILD, which causes the while loop to run forever.

current unit number, and the "new" unit number of -1. This allows the
script to actually deconfigure the SLIP interface (e.g. by running
"ifconfig delete") which has been impossible previously.
This is most likely a candidate for 2.1, too.
handling for the tools binaries. E.g., after libc.a is changed, it
previously took two `make' passes and one `make depend' pass following
one of the `make' passes to bring everything up to date. Now one `make'
pass followed by one `make depend' pass is sufficient.
Dependency handling seems to be difficult to handle cleanly when
interdependent things are built in different directories.
instead of the uninitialized one $(DEVICE).
I hoped these changes would fix some of the large runtime macro processing
bugs, but they seem to only fix some small build-time macro substitution
bugs. E.g., `man ms' now tells you to invoke groff with the flags `-ms'
instead of the bogus flags `-m'; `man groff now tells you that the default
device is `ps' instead of the bogus device `'.
