The second phase of syscons reorganization.

- Split syscons source code into manageable chunks and reorganize
some of complicated functions.

- Many static variables are moved to the softc structure.

- Added a new key function, PREV. When this key is pressed, the vty
immediately before the current vty will become foreground. Analogue
to PREV, which is usually assigned to the PrntScrn key.

- Modified the kernel console input function sccngetc() so that it
handles function keys properly.

- Reorganized the screen update routine.

- VT switching code is reorganized. It now should be slightly more
robust than before.

- Added the DEVICE_RESUME function so that syscons no longer hooks the
APM resume event directly.

- New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING,
SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE.
Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is
reduced.

SC_PIXEL_MODE
Made the VESA 800x600 mode an option, rather than a standard part of
syscons.

SC_DISABLE_DDBKEY
Disables the `debug' key combination.

SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE
Inverse the character cell at the mouse cursor position in the text
console, rather than drawing an arrow on the screen.

SC_DFLT_FONT
makeoptions "SC_DFLT_FONT=_font_name_"
Include the named font as the default font of syscons. 16-line,
14-line and 8-line font data will be compiled in. This option replaces
the existing STD8X16FONT option, which loads 16-line font data only.

- The VGA driver is split into /sys/dev/fb/vga.c and /sys/isa/vga_isa.c.

- The video driver provides a set of ioctl commands to manipulate the
frame buffer.

- New kernel configuration option: VGA_WIDTH90
Enables 90 column modes: 90x25, 90x30, 90x43, 90x50, 90x60. These
modes are mot always supported by the video card.

- The header file machine/console.h is reorganized; its contents is now
split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h
(another new file). machine/console.h is still maintained for
compatibility reasons.

- Kernel console selection/installation routines are fixed and
slightly rebumped so that it should now be possible to switch between
the interanl kernel console (sc or vt) and a remote kernel console
(sio) again, as it was in 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1.

- Screen savers and splash screen decoders
Because of the header file reorganization described above, screen
savers and splash screen decoders are slightly modified. After this
update, /sys/modules/syscons/saver.h is no longer necessary and is
removed.

This commit adds driver support for PCI fast ethernet cards based on the
ADMtek AL981 "Comet" chipset. The AL981 is yet another DEC tulip clone,
except with simpler receive filter options. The AL981 has a built-in
transceiver, power management support, wake on LAN and flow control.
This chip performs extremely well; it's on par with the ASIX chipset
in terms of speed, which is pretty good (it can do 11.5MB/sec with TCP
easily).

I would have committed this driver sooner, except I ran into one problem
with the AL981 that required a workaround. When the chip is transmitting
at full speed, it will sometimes wedge if you queue a series of packets
that wrap from the end of the transmit descriptor list back to the
beginning. I can't explain why this happens, and none of the other tulip
clones behave this way. The workaround this is to just watch for the end
of the transmit ring and make sure that al_start() breaks out of its
packet queuing loop and waiting until the current batch of transmissions
completes before wrapping back to the start of the ring. Fortunately, this
does not significantly impact transmit performance.

This is one of those things that takes weeks of analysis just to come
up with two or three lines of code changes.

Major lobotomy of config(8). The

config kernel mumble mumble

line has been obsoleted and removed and with it went all knowledge of
devices on the part of config.

You can still configure a root device (which is used if you give
the "-r" flag) but now with an option:

options ROOTDEVNAME=\"da0s2e\"

The string is parsed by the same code as at the "boot -a" prompt.

At the same time, make the "boot -a" prompt both more able and more
informative.

ALPHA/PC98 people: You will have to adapt a few simple changes
(defining rootdev and dumpdev somewhere else) before config works
for you again, sorry, but it's all in the name of progress.

Add device driver support for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA
adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.

This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)

Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
