Allow us to enable the 'XT_KEYBOARD' code using a configuration flag.
This allows the user to add modify syscons's configuration flags using
UserConfig that will allow older/quirky hardware (most notably older IBM
ThinkPad laptops) to work with the standard boot kernel.

Changed mouse functionality a bit, now the pointer disappears if
there is keyboard input.
The mousepointer is shown again immediately if moved.

Also a function pointer used to install a userwritten extra
ioctl handler (sc_user_ioctl). This way its is possible to
install user defined videomodes etc etc. No further changes
should be in the kernel.

Fix a couble of nasties regarding mouse pointer and different
resolutions.
Allow middle mouse button to be used for pasting.
Also added the beginnings of support for a splash page.

Fixed a couple of bugs in the mousepointer code.
Changed update strategy slightly.
Make set_mode & copy_font externally visible.

Fixed bug in pasting 8bit char (ache).
Added linefeeds in cuts that extend beyond one line.
Prepared for the mousefunctions to be used in nontext modes.

Change the way moused talk to syscons, now its only delivering mouseevents
via an ioctl (MOUSE_ACTION).

Change the way moused talk to syscons, now its only delivering mouseevents
via an ioctl (MOUSE_ACTION).
Fixed a couple of bugs (destructive cursor, uncut, jitter).
Now applications can use the mouse via the MOUSE_MODE ioctl, its
possible to have a signal sent on mouseevents, makeing an event loop
in the application take over mouseevents.

Moved declarations of static functions to the correct file. This fixes
hundreds of warnings from -Wunused in lkm/syscons/*.

Some news for syscons (long overdue):

Real support for a Textmode mousecursor, works by reprogramming the
charset. Together with this support for cut&paste in text mode.
To use it a userland daemon is needed (moused), which provides
the interface to the various mice protokols.
Bug fixes here and there, all known PR's closed by this update.

Added `#include "ioconf.h"' to <machine/conf.h> and cleaned up the
misplaced extern declarations (mostly prototypes of interrupt handlers)
that this exposed. The prototypes should be moved back to the driver
sources when the functions are staticalized.

Added idempotency guards to <machine/conf.h>. "ioconf.h" can't be
included when building LKMs so define a wart in bsd.kmod.mk to help
guard against including it.

Make pcvt and syscons live in the same kernel. If both are enabled, then
the first one in the config has priority. They can be switched using
userconfig().

i386/i386/conf.c:
Initialize the shared syscons/pcvt cdevsw entry to `nx'.

Add cdevsw registration functions.

Use devsw functions of the correct type if they exist.

i386/i386/cons.c:
Add renamed syscons entry points to constab.

i386/i386/cons.h:
Declare the renamed syscons entry points.

i386/i386/machdep.c:
Repeat console initialization after userconfig() in case the current
console has become wrong. This depends on cn functions not wiring down
anything important.

sys/conf.h:
Declare new functions.

i386/isa/isa.[ch]:
Add a function to decide which display driver has priority. Should be
done better.

i386/isa/syscons.c:
Rename pccn* -> sccn*.

Initialize CRTC start address in case the previous driver has moved it.

i386/isa/syscons.c, i386/isa/pcvt/*
Initialize the bogusly shared variable Crtat dynamically in case the
stored value was changed by the previous driver.

Initialize cdevsw table from a template.

Don't grab the console if another display driver has priority.

i386/isa/syscons.h, i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h:
Don't externally declare now-static cdevsw functions.

i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h:
Set the sensitive hardware flag so that pcvt doesn't always have lower
priority than syscons. This also fixes the "stupid" detection of the
display after filling the display with text.

i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_out.c:
Don't be confused the off-screen cursor offset 0xffff set by syscons.

kern/subr_xxx.c:
Add enough nxio/nodev/null devsw functions of the correct type for syscons
and pcvt.

Fix races in scstart(). q_to_b() wasn't called at spltty(), so there

Fix races in scstart(). q_to_b() wasn't called at spltty(), so there
were two races:
- q_to_b() might unexpectedly return 0 (e.g, after a keyboard signal
flushes the output queue and isn't echoed). ansi_put() interprets
0 bytes as 4GB...
- more output (e.g. for echoes) might arrive afer q_to_b() returns 0.
Then scstart() returns presumably and the new output might not be
handled for a long time.

Remove unused function scxint().

Fix prototypes (foo() isn't a prototype).
