a function) which specifies how many lines will be skipped when scrolling
up when the bottom of the screen is reached. Dumb framebuffers skip 10
lines (as before) because the copies are s ... l ... o ... w, but it's
silly to skip 10 lines on VGA, since the copies are much faster, so we
only skip one in that case.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
a char *, because that's what was really intended, and because
if the print function modifies the string, various things could become
unhappy (so the string should _not_ be modified).
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
Support for AXPpci CPUs,
Support for AlphaStation 600 CPUs,
new boot block structure, which requires an 'installboot'
program and works a lot like the NetBSD/sparc boot blocks.
