Added my if_lp TCP/IP driver to lpt.c.
I have (surprise) not been able to test it on a 2.0 machine yet. Connect the
machines with a parallel "lap-link" cable, and get rates from 35 kbyte/sec
up to 75 kbyte/sec. (when ftp'ing foo: dev/zero -> bar:/dev/null).
The same lpt.c file should compile under 1.1.5.1 without problems.
I think we should promote this feature when we dump 2.0 on the expectant
public, because it provides a cheap and efficient way to move data to and
from notebooks &c. It is not a replacement for ethernet, but a cheap
substitute sometimes.
This driver supports all the DEC EtherWORKS III NICs (DE203, DE204,
and DE205) and the later DEC EtherWORKS II NICs (DE200, DE201, DE202,
DE422). DEPCA-style boards prior to the DE200 have not been tested
and may not work.

Reduced maximum transfer size by one to allow for catching a too large
condition correctly. Do single block I/O if the size is too large.

based originally on work by David Greenman and adapted to FreeBSD
(and cleaned up a bit) by myself. It supports the IBM Credit Card
Adapter for the IBM Thinkpad, and I've had no trouble making it work
on my Toshiba T1910 with a National `InfoMover' NE4100 PCMCIA ethernet
card (I'm commiting this message through it right now :-).
This is actually sneaking it in after feature-freeze, but it's just
too useful to pass up! As always, necessity is a mother.
change all of these to be timeout_funt_t and remove the casts and
typedef?
Remove secound argument (uban) from ifp->if_reset routines since it is now
obsolete.

Do a board reset if the AHA_INQUIRE command fails. This is needed for the
DTC3290. Change the messages about the BT545 to be generic to non adaptec
boards, since it appears that most vendors do not implement the AHA_INQUIRE
command in thier compatibility mode.
----------------------------
the NTP kernel PLL is disabled, and acquire_timer0() is enabled, thus
opening the door for microtime() (and hence gettimeofday()) to return
bogus timestamps. This option is necessary for the `pca' driver to
work, but is implemented to underscore the fact that accurate timekeeping
and the `pca' driver are incompatible at present. If someone writes a version
of microtime() that works when the `pca' driver is being used, this can get
junked.
1) check va before clearing the page clean flag. Not doing so was
causing the vnode pager error 5 messages when paging from
NFS. (pmap.c)
2) put back interrupt protection in idle_loop. Bruce didn't think
it was necessary, John insists that it is (and I agree). (swtch.s)
3) various improvements to the clustering code (vm_machdep.c). It's
now enabled/used by default.
4) bad disk blocks are now handled properly when doing clustered IOs.
(wd.c, vm_machdep.c)
5) bogus bad block handling fixed in wd.c.
6) algorithm improvements to the pageout/pagescan daemons. It's amazing
how well 4MB machines work now.
