Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
gfb_draw if 'flip' is specified. This causes the mouse cut region
to be displayed in reverse color so it is visbile.
- Use the "other" implementation of gfb_cursor for the creator driver,
which doesn't assume there is a hardware cursor. It seems that the
hardware cursor that creator provides doesn't display the character
under the cursor in reverse colors, so the driver does this manually
and uses the hardware cursor for the mouse pointer (which it also works
much better for). This is wedged here because it required less hoops
than accessing the syscons vtb from inside the video driver, which is
needed to read the character and color attributes under the new cursor
position.
-Werror build with such option, but not other combinations. LINT
misses this because syscons knobs in LINT turn off a lot of code.

where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

Otherwise sysbeep() makes an annoying clicking sound on some systems.

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

don't end up freezing the box. This makes VTY locking useless
in the DDB case but a box which is supposed to be physically
secure shouldn't compile DDB anyway.

- 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.

creation by GCC-2.6.3. Casting pointers to unsigned char
to volatile pointers to unsigned char seemed to produce
better results on the ia32 architecture with old versions
of GCC.
The current FreeBSD system compiler GCC-3.2.1 emits
better sign extension code for non-volatile variables:
volatile char c;
int i = c;
is compiled to:
...
movb -1(%ebp), %al
movbsl %al, %eax
movl %eax, -8(%ebp)
...
char c;
int i = c;
is compiled to:
...
movbsl -1(%ebp), %eax
movl %eax, -8(%ebp)
...
The same holds for zero-extension of dereferenced pointers
to volatile unsigned char.
When compiled on alpha or sparc64, the code produced for the
two examples above does not differ.
little more than a place holder, because nothing actually counted the
number of 'sc' units to compare it against NSC. A bit more work here
is needed so that the scaling of SC_MAX_HISTORY_SIZE and extra_history_size
goes up when more sc units are added. But, it does not appear that we can
have more than one console yet, so it does not seem particularly urgent.
like this can be emulated by VT_SETMODEing to VT_PROCESS and never
releasing the vty, but this has a number of problems, most notably
that a process must stay resident for the lock to be in effect.

hw.syscons.saver.keybonly: used to specify that only input is to
interrupt the screensaver. This allows one to run a chatty console
app but still have the screen blank out until a key is pressed.
There should probably also be an ioctl for this, we'll do that later.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.
