during autoconfig to support strange hardware (such as the Yamaha DS-1)
which implements 'legacy' ISA devices as well as a PCI device. This will
allow the PCI driver for the YMF724 to add the legacy devices to the ISA
bus and will allow the PnP system to automatically allocate the resources
for those devices.
The old code was spread out through the machdep code and was sloppy about
enabling and disabling the FEN bit (which controls access to the FP
register set). This caused a DIAGNOSTIC warning "DANGER WILL ROBINSON:
FEN SET IN cpu_fork!" sometimes when operating under high loads and could
conceivably lead to processes getting incorrect FP results.
The new code is much more strict about the FEN bit and makes sure that
*only* fpcurproc ever has it enabled. This also allows us to remove a
section of code from the exception_return path which might improve
performance marginally.

instead of duplicating the code. (2) If a wired page is passed

(If we don't panic here, we'll just panic later in vm_page_unwire

Remove the disabled bdev specific read/write code.
It however posts a bogus button up event once in a while. Whenever
we receive dx=dy=dz=buttons=0 we postpone adding it to the queue for
50msecs with a timeout. If in the meantime something else is posted
the event is ignored.
This avoids the problem Nik Sayer reported. He noticed that X windows

Thanks, Nik, for supplying me with the keyboard to fix the problem!

This doesn't fit into a compile-time scheme like DEV_DRIVER_MODULE,

devsw_module_handler() indirectly and not use the chain arguments. To
eliminate this indirection via that function (which does nothing now)
without duplicating a modevent handler into all the routines that don't
presently have one, supply a NOP (do nothing, return OK) routine which
is functionally equivalent to what's there now. This is a hack and is
still wrong, because there doesn't appear to be anything to reclaim
resources on an unload of a module with one of these in it. I'm not
sure whether to make the NOP handler refuse a MOD_UNLOAD event or what.

I'm not sure it should be, given the minimal application use. (Other
than having the debugger automatically access the symbols for a process,
the main use I'd found was with some minor accounting ability, but _that_

be useless in that case.)
This is a code-less change; only a comment has been added.

Note that this doesn't fix the real problem -- the real problem is generally
bad setup by ignorant users, and education is the right way to fix it.
So while this doesn't actually solve the prolem mentioned in the complaint
(since it's still possible to do it via other methods, although they mostly
involve a bit more complicity), and there are better methods to do this,
nobody was willing or able to provide me with a real world example that
couldn't be worked around using the existing permissions and group
mechanism. And therefore, security by removing features is the method of
the day.
I only had three applications that used it, in any event. One of them would
have made debugging easier, but I still haven't finished it, and won't
now, so it doesn't really matter.
