Ed Schouten c9dba40cc8 Reimplement the /dev/console device node.
One of the pieces of code that I had left alone during the development
of the MPSAFE TTY layer, was tty_cons.c. This file actually has two
different functions:

- It contains low-level console input/output routines (cnputc(), etc).

- It creates /dev/console and wraps all its cdevsw calls to the
  appropriate TTY.

This commit reimplements the second set of functions by moving it
directly into the TTY layer. /dev/console is now a character device node
that's basically a regular TTY, but does a lookup of `si_drv1' each time
you open it. d_write has also been changed to call log_console().
d_close() is not present, because we must make sure we don't revoke the
TTY after writing a log message to it.

Even though I'm not convinced this is in line with the future directions
of our console code, it is a good move for now. It removes recursive
locking from the top half of the TTY layer. The previous implementation
called into the TTY layer with Giant held.

I'm renaming tty_cons.c to kern_cons.c now. The code hardly contains any
TTY related bits, so we'd better give it a less misleading name.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
