to the screen on which they are being called. The driver cannot guess
this by itself but it is needed to implement, at least, the getwschar and
putwschar functions in the correct place. There are no functional changes
yet.
Tested on i386 (vga, vga_raster, machfb, vesafb), macppc and sparc64.

uvm_useracc() tells us whether the mapping permissions allow access to
the desired part of an address space, and many callers assume that
this is the same as knowing whether an attempt to access that part of
the address space will succeed. however, access to user space can
fail for reasons other than insufficient permission, most notably that
paging in any non-resident data can fail due to i/o errors. most of
the callers of uvm_useracc() make the above incorrect assumption. the
rest are all misguided optimizations, which optimize for the case
where an operation will fail. we'd rather optimize for operations
succeeding, in which case we should just attempt the access and handle
failures due to insufficient permissions the same way we handle i/o
errors. since there appear to be no good uses of uvm_useracc(), we'll
just remove it.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
- video base register value brings different scanline starting address
of framebuffer depending on VRAM chip column size.
many other issues left unsolved.
- text rendered in incorrect colours.
- acceleration codes should be reimplemented from scratch.
than the preivous code. It can show readable characters on screen.
Tested only with 32bpp model of PMAGD opion card. Need more work for 8bpp.
- 2D accelleration will be revamped to ultilize SFBplus features.
- there seems much mulfunctionness in 32bpp codes of /sys/dev/rasops/.
Need to rectify every corners.
"off_t" and the return value is a "paddr_t" to allow mappings
at offsets past 2^31 bytes. Somewhat inspired by FreeBSD, which
only changed the offset to a "vm_offset_t".
Includes updates for the i386, pc532 and sh3 mmmmap from Jason Thorpe.
