copyin() or copyout().
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.
the kernel to panic since it is recognised as a TGA and the TGA driver
doesn't [yet] know what to do with it.
This patch fixes that by:
o making tgamatch() try to actually figure out what kind
of TGA card is there, rather than simply relying on the
vendor/product ids.
o creating a tga_cnmatch() so that the console code in
arch/alpha/pci/pci_machdep.c can cause the same to occur.
o breaking up some of tga_getdevconfig() into a few different
functions to re-use code that would have been duplicated.
o changed arch/alpha/pci/pci_machdep.c so that it calls out
to tga_cnmatch() if DEVICE_IS_TGA() matches before it decides
to attach the console as a TGA.

for proper console text handling (especially in-line insertion) on
8-bit displays.
From Christian Groessler <cpg@aladdin.de>.
Tested on 32-bit TGA by me.
pci_attach_args *" instead of from four separate parameters which in
all cases were extracted from the same "struct pci_attach_args".
This both simplifies the driver api, and allows for alternate PCI
interrupt mapping schemes, such as one using the tables described in
the Intel Multiprocessor Spec which describe interrupt wirings for
devices behind pci-pci bridges based on the device's location rather
the bridge's location.
Tested on alpha and i386; welcome to 1.5Q
"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.
Console text should now be supported on all TGA cards;
8- and 32-bit TGA and 8-bit TGA2 have been tested.
Implement accelerated character drawing, scrolling, and clearing.
Stop clearing "odd" in VHCR; it's unnecessary and hurts performance.
Use bus_space_vaddr() instead of a local hack.
functions based on type returned from tga_getconf().
Adapt to change in ramdac interface.
Fix race condition in tga_sched_update().
Make tga_sched_update() work before interrupts are enabled.
- returned EOPNOTSUPP rather than -1.
- no check for negative offset.
many of these fix potential security problems in these drivers.

the d_mmap cdev routine should be changed to have a prototype like:
paddr_t (*d_mmap) __P((dev_t, off_t, int));
