There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
Added obsolete option GATEWAY so that kern_opt.c gets tested.
Added undocumented options LOCKF_DEBUG and SIMPLELOCK_DEBUG so
that these options get tested. The addition of LOCKF_DEBUG shows
that all of kern/kern_lockf.c shouldn't have been moved from ufs.
The debugging parts are very fs-dependent.
probing anytime soon, make EISA_SLOTS a fully supported option. It's
required for the HP NetServer LC series machines.
Next stop: make dset(8) aware of it as well.
SEM* and SHM*. These are already supported in the options files. I
mostly used the default value plus 1. This ensures that the LINT kernel
depends on the options headers.
variable `kern.maxvnodes' which gives much better control over vnode
allocation than EXTRAVNODES (except in -current between 1995/10/28 and
1996/11/12, kern.maxvnodes was read-only and thus useless).
I have no idea if this works since I don't have one of the cards to test.
I also don't know what the LINT and GENERIC entries should look like,
so I just made up some values for now and left them commented out.
Someone who knows the factory settings for a Pro/10, please contact me!

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
compile again. The code to protect users from combining the dedicated
PCCARD drivers and the generic code is a warning if the above option
is included in the config file.

aic7xxx cards failing on certain motherboards, reverse the logic used to
control this feature. AHC_FORCE_PIO is replaced with AHC_ALLOW_MEMIO.
GENERIC no longer needs to specify the AHC_FORCE_PIO option since this is
the default.

afterwards, according to the submitter.

UserConfig. (Also document other syscons flags which were previously
undocumented).

negative-logic flags (flags 0x01 and 0x02 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
This changes the default from off to on. The options have been in current
for several months with no problems reported.
Added a boot-time negative-logic flag for the old I5886_FAST_BCOPY option
which went away too soon (flag 0x04 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
Added a boot-time way to set the memory size (iosiz in config, iosize in
userconfig for npx0).
LINT:
Removed old options. Documented npx0's flags and iosiz.
options.i386:
Removed old options.
identcpu.c:
Don't set the function pointers here. Setting them has to be delayed
until after userconfig has had a chance to disable them and until after
a good npx0 has been detected.
machdep.c:
Use npx0's iosize instead of MAXMEM if it is nonzero.
support.s:
Added vectors and glue code for copyin() and copyout().
Fixed ifdefs for i586_bzero().
Added ifdefs for i586_bcopy().
npx.c:
Set the function pointers here.
Clear hw_float when an npx exists but is too broken to use.
Restored style from a year or three ago in npxattach().
if I586_CPU is defined. Note there is a runtime check so the code
won't be run for non-Pentium CPUs anyway.
2.2 candidate, this code has been tested for almost half year in -current.
will be renamed.
Fixed comments about unsupported network protocols.
ncr0 is a controller, not a device. This make no difference.
Added undocumented options DEVFS_ROOT, I586_CTR_GUPROF and I586_PMC_GUPROF.
Sorted undocumented options.
bit (0x0008) in the sc driver configuration line. This way it's easy to
boink a generic kernel.
Also, document and place in an opt_ file the #define's for overriding which
serial port is the system console.

I maintain that it saves more power to simply "hlt" the CPU than to
spend tons of time trying to tell the APM bios to do the same.
In particular if you do it 100 times a second...
