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).
an effort to avoid bouncing file system buffers (it's not clear how much
of a win this is, and it'll be pointless w/ a unified buffer cache, but
what the heck).

Log:
Add workaround to allow the FreeBSD boot block to work on
Kapok Computer Co. notebook with AMI 'WinBIOS' which seems to insist
on having a short jump and nop as the first instructions in the
boot sector code. The prevailing theory is that the BIOS is doing
some sort of boot sector virus detection and refusing to run any
boot block that doesn't start with the same instruction sequence as
MS-DOG boot sector code. If this is the case, it would be nice if it
actually printed an error message to this effect instead of just
saying 'FAILED.'
This workaround has no effect on the boot sector code other than to
increase its size by three bytes.
address on 2 architectures anyhow. Also, move the definition of the `label_t'
type inside _KERNEL protection, since it is specific to the in-kernel
setjmp()/longjmp() implementations.
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.
