No kernel config options anymore besides keyboard language layout.
Virtual consoles are now dynamically allocated, no NCONS anymore.
Software cursor blinking/nonblinking.
Visual bell for laptops (don't beep at meetings :-).
Cursor/bell default type setable via config "flags" instead of as defines.
Cursor/bell type setable via ioctl's.
New video modes 80x30 80x60 for some laptops, and those with multisync monitors.
Scroll-lock history (length currently fixed at 100 lines).
Lots of cleanups, some only commented out for now (will goaway soon).
Support for new features in vidcontrol/kbdcontrol.
Updated manpages.
being cleared in some cases for vnode backed objects; we now do this in
vnode_pager_alloc proper to guarantee it. Also be more careful in the
rcollapse code about messing with busy/bmapped pages.
now marked busy as long as it's being in non-reset state, and the
drives are busy as long as at least one instance is open.
Also reformat everything to fit into 80 columns again.
Changed my mind wrt. error reporting for a write-protected drive and
an open() with write intent; ENXIO has been too weird, now return EIO.
Some portions of the code need to be rewritten to use tprintf()
instead of simple printf()'s, so the messages will also appear on the
session terminal, however.

Any attemp to open /dev/rwt0 hangs.
The following patch to /sys/i386/isa/wt.c is derived from Mikael
Hybsch's wt driver.

much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.
The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.
The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.
vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.
vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.
vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.
vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.
pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.
vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.
proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.
swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.
machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.
machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.
ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

Reenabled "SCIOCOMAND" ioctl.
Restructured so low level drivers can easily request retries.
Added preliminary fixed SCSI devices (should be revisited before 2.1)
Added "ssc" device that can have its' (HBA, ID, LUN) set via ioctl.
shifting. Also correct the original code as Garrett noticed it in mail.
Leave the mishandled code in to use it later if future versions of gcc
are correct. The code was part of the calibrate_cyclecounter routine to
get the speed of the pentium chip.
floppy driver (or in the hardware?). It turned out to be caused by
spurious interrupts, right after an FDC reset.
Also major cleanup in the low-level structure, there are now functions
performing error-checks for the FDC I/O.

It used to do this by setting a global <Yuck>. Now we set th VNINACT
flag in the vnode to force a skip of ufs_inactive.
Sorry for missing this file in my last commit folks.

is much better than it was. I probably won't be putting much more time
into this until Seltzer releases her new version of LFS which has
fragment support. This should be availible just before USENIX.
no more DOS boots to start it up.
Simply did a localized nuke of the OUTB macro in this file. This is
a kludge, since it seems it may actually be necessary in other GUS
files (tbd).

correct console number for the VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl. Invalid console numbers
caused waiting on an invalid pointer.
Use bcopyw() instead of move_up() and move_down(). bcopyw() handles
overlapped copies and should be faster. Actually use bcopy(). bcopy()
is slightly faster if video memory is 16-bit and about twice as fast if
it is 32-bit. bcopy() is said to fail on someGA's, but syscons already
depends on it working for other accesses to video memory.
If nd->swap_nblks is zero in nfs_mountroot(), then the system
comes up without initializing swapdev_vp to an actual vnode pointer.
The swap pager assumes a non-NULL value for swapdev_vp.
The fix is to try initializing local swap if no NFS swap space
is specified.
Remove bogus input operands for fnsave(), fnstcw() and fnstsw().
Change all fwait's to fnop's. This might help avoid hardware bugs.
Wait after fninit with an fnop. This should be safer now.
Fix some spelling and formatting errors.
Use natural sizes for control and status words (u_short, promotes to int).
Don't clobber the SWI_CLOCK_MASK bits in npx0_imask when using IRQ13.
Set the devconf state correctly (always busy, if configured). Improve
code for npx_registerdev() a little (gcc can't keep id->id_unit in a
register for some reason). Don't register a nonexistent npx device.
Print a useful message in npxattach() again (delete references to errors
and not the whole message). Don't print "387 emulator" if there is no
emulator in the kernel.
Use %p for pointers in error messages.
Don't clobber the FPU state when there is an FPU exception. Just clear
the exception flags (after saving the flags as before). This allows
debuggers and SIGFPE handlers to look at the full exception state.
SIGFPE handlers should normally return via longjmp(), which restores a
good FPU state (as before). Returning from a SIGFPE handler may leave
the FPU in the wrong state (as before).
Clear the busy latch _after_ clearing the exception flags so that there
is less chance of getting a bogus h/w interrupt for a control operation.
Clear the saved exception status word when the next FPU instruction is
excuted so that it doesn't stick around until the next exception.
Clear the busy latch after fnsave() in npxsave() in case it was set when
npxsave() was called.
