the new PnP code. Since the bulk of the driver changes are not being
committed at this time, it will not affect the driver. The code is being
committed early to allow others synchronise changes.
new system is integrated with the ISA bus code more cleanly and allows
the future addition of more enumerators such as PnPBIOS and ACPI.
This commit also enables the new pcm driver since it is somewhat tied to
the new PnP code.
Fix a bug where video capture locks up on channel changes.
Many thanks to Juha for solving this.

Remove WD formatting code which has never worked in 386bsd or FreeBSD.
Remove DIOCSSTEP and DIOCSRETRIES ioctls as well, they belong in
history, along with the SMD disks.

* Make it possible to type a filename to boot1 so that it is possible to
recover from fatally broken versions of /boot/loader.
* Make a start at a CD boot program (not yet functional).
external NatSemi PHY chip was programmed to respond to MII address 24.
In the 3c905B ASICs, the transceiver is internal but it's still mapped
to MII address 24. But *some* 3Com 3c905B ASIC revisions map the
transceiver control registers to *all* MII addresses (0 through 31).
The miibus code probes for PHYs at all MII addresses and because of
this unusual behavior, it will attempt to map the same PHY registers
several times over, which doesn't work.
Naturally, the 3c905B NIC that I tested happened not to exhibit this
behavior.
The fix is to tweak xl_miibus_readreg() and xl_miibus_writereg()
to only respond when attempting to read from MII address 24. This
is safe to do since the 3Com documentation indicates that the PHY
and/or internal transceiver will always be mapped to address 24,
and there are no 3Com XL NICs with more than one PHY.
New Features:
Greatly improved VBI capture support. (mainly for the AleVT port)
Supports select() on /dev/vbi
Improved RISC program for RGB+VBI capture to capture both evenodd
VBI data even when only capturing even only (or odd only) video
Based on code from Juha Nurmela <Juha.Nurmela@quicknet.inet.fi>
Support for Hauppauge 627 and Temic 4006
