-treat the builtin font like any other font at runtime
-for that, copy it to malloc()'d memory during attach()
-in early console initialization, if we have to consider a broken card
(VGA_CONSOLE_ATI_BROKEN_FONTSEL), copy the builtin font to another
location in font ram; the attach() code will do the rest
put the "quirk" code into effect again
found on many (all?) of PCI-based ATI graphics cards. It is fully optional
and can be enabled by adding `options VGA_CONSOLE_ATI_BROKEN_FONTSEL'
to config file.
- Temporarily remove `quirk' mechanism. Similar code already exists
in pci_quirks.c.
-Don't assume fonts to start with character 0, load at the
right offset. Now we can use eg wsfont/bold8x16.h which
starts with chr(1).
-Don't touch the hardware if a font is set for a screen which is
not active.
make the number of available font slots variable,
set up a "quirk" mechanism to tell the generic vga code about crippled
VGA adapters which ignore the "fontsel" TS register,
initiate the quirk table with an ATI chip which happened to be on a board
I tested with.
Afaik quite a number of ATI chips suffers from the "loaded fonts don't
work" problem - these should be added.
Bad side effect of my change: The builtin font will be kicked out
always if a VGA_CONSOLE_SCREENTYPE is specified which needs a loaded
font. In early console initialization, we don't know much about the
graphics card, so we have to assume the worst (ie ATI:-).
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.
-unref font(s) if a screen is deleted, so they could be unloaded
if dev/wsfont supported it
-add missing pieces to support screen types with font sizes != 8x16
as system console - now
options VGA_CONSOLE_SCREENTYPE="\"80x50\""
options FONT_VT220L8x8
gives you what you'd expect
compiled-in or runtime loaded fonts,
keep font pointers in a LRU queue and load into the adapter on demand,
so we can have more fonts in use than physical font slots
CAUTION: font loading through the wsdisplay device directly into the
adapter doesn't work anymore!
VGA_CONSOLE_SCREENTYPE because the screen types are hardware specific
and make it affect the console only (no need to change runtime
behaviour), don't call vga_setscreentype() unless necessary (to avoid
trouble with strange hardware - PR kern/11025)
-some beginnings of ISO-7 (greek) font support
* in vga_init(), set the screen type to WSCONS_DEFAULT_TYPE, which defaults
to "80x25".
XXX: the code currently makes no attempt to ensure that a font
with the appropriate width & height is available, effectively
limiting this default to either "80x25" or "80x24" at this
time.
* make wsdisplay_screentype_pick() non static, so that vga_init() can use it
"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".

timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
