certain error conditions, it is possible for pages to be left allocated
in the object beyond it's end. It is generally bad practice to allocate
pages beyond the end of an object.

divisor latch registers if the registers wouldn't change.
Use the default console cfcr setting while setting the divisor
latch registers for console i/o. Input may be messed up by
transiently changing the cfcr.
Use a usual cfcr setting while setting the divisor latch registers
in the probe. This shouldn't matter, but this is not the place to
test the UART's handling of 5 bit words.
Removed a stale devfs comment.
was always disabled because "pci.h" wasn't included. Now the configured
pci devices are listed and you can edit bogus flags for them.
Fixed bitrot in the disabled code. A used #include was removed and const
poisoning wasn't fixed.
Removed unused #include.
not resuming the NIC as required for transmit. Thanks to Alan Cox
<alc@cs.rice.edu> for noticing this.
Added another performance optimization to compensate. :-)
Changed crscdt to 1...strange, but this seems to be needed for some reason
despite what the manual says.
dependent operation, and not really a correct name. invltlb and invlpg
are more descriptive, and in the case of invlpg, a real opcode.
Additionally, fix the tlb management code for 386 machines.
- kern.maxproc and kern.maxprocperuid were read-only (and thus essentially
useless. Apparently no one uses them).
- all the user sysctls were read-write (and thus it was possible for them
to be inconsistent with the authoritative fixed values in the library).
Removed unused #include.
for headers in the compile directory work unsurprisingly. Without
-I-, the search for "foo.h" begins in the directory of the file
that includes it, and the compile directory is only searched because
`-I.' is in ${INCLUDES}.
Removed -I$S/sys from ${INCLUDES}. It was once necessary to find
things like "param.h" in $S/sys. Now <sys/param.h> is found in $S.
lcall 7,0 (ie: ldt slot 0) and lcall 0x87,0 (ldt slot 16, it's shifted
three bits to the left). I was fiddling with this so long ago, I don't
recall the specifics.

that wouldn't run. I'm pretty sure they tried it and I'm pretty sure
they mentioned to me that the patch worked.
comparisons in the inb() and outb() macros. I decided that int args
are OK here. Any type that can hold a u_int16_t without overflow
is correct, and 32-bit types are optimal.
Introduced a few tens of warnings (100 in LINT) for use of pessimized
(short) types for the port arg. Only a few drivers are affected by
this. u_short pessimizations aren't detected.
Added `__extension__' before the statement-expression in inb() so
that it can be compiled without warnings by gcc -pedantic.
ring that caused wrong things to happen sometimes.
Doubled the number of transmit descriptors to 128 so that the internal
FIFO in the NIC can be fully filled when dealing with small packets.
Several minor performance improvements.
- don't include <sys/ioctl.h> in any header. Include <sys/ioccom.h>
instead. This was already done in 4.4Lite for the most important
ioctl headers. Header spam currently increases kernel build
times by 10-20%. There are more than 30000 #includes (not counting
duplicates) for compiling LINT.
- include <sys/types.h> if and only it is necessary to make the header
almost self-sufficient (some ioctl headers still need structs from
elsewhere).
- uniformized idempotency ifdefs. Copied the style in the 4.4Lite
ioctl headers.
drop the oldest entry in the queue.
There was a fair bit of discussion as to whether or not the
proper action is to drop a random entry in the queue. It's
my conclusion that a random drop is better than a head drop,
however profiling this section of code (done by John Capo)
shows that a head-drop results in a significant performance
increase.
There are scenarios where a random drop is more appropriate.
If I find one in reality, I'll add the random drop code under
a conditional.

It is needed for implementation details but very little of it is
needed for the interface. Include it in the few places that didn't
already include it.
Include <sys/ioccom.h> in <sys/disklabel.h> (as already in
<sys/diskslice.h>) so that all the disk-related headers are almost
self-sufficient.
the prototype.
Put the jump table for i486_bzero() in the data section. This
speeds up i486_bzero() a little on Pentiums without significantly
affecting its speed on 486's.
Don't waste time falling through 14 nop's to return from do1 in
i486_bzero().
Use fastmove() for counts >= 1024 (was > 1024). Cosmetic.
Fixed profiling of fastmove().
Restored meaningful labels from the pre-1.1 version in fastmove().
Local labels are evil.
Fixed (high resolution non-) profiling of __bb_init_func().
comma expression has no effect" in the MAKE_SET() macro. This also
fixes compiling with -O3 (which removes static functions unless
there is a suitable reference to them). Declaring all the static
symbols as __unused would also fix the warning, but would be bogus
(they are used) and wouldn't fix -O3. However, the dummy pointers
for the references waste about 1.5K text and 20K symbol space for
GENERIC. This wastage hasn't changed - the dummy pointers are just
nonzero now.
