-sys/lib/libkern builds as library per default (as it was documented all
the time)
-ports able to LKM set "KERN_AS=obj" explicitely in their Makefiles
(for now; should depend on actual "option LKM" or -better- functions
included for LKM use should be pulled in by a stub)
-always link libcompat before libkern - libkern stuff can be referred to
by libcompat, but not the other way
u-area in machine-dependent code. Instead, call exit2() to schedule
the reaper to free them for us, once it is safe to do so (i.e. we are
no longer running on the dead proc's vmspace and stack).
tty structures, and on some machines (namely the DraCo internal lpt, and some
multi-i/o boards for Amigas and DraCos), tying spltty to the pretty high printer
interupt level would hurt serial performance.
On all affected ports but Amiga, spllpt() has been defined in machine/intr.h
to be spltty(), thus preserving old behaviour. Portmasters are encouraged to
change is, if they feel something else is better (e.g., one of its own were
possible).
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
