every format-verify (or read/write on the block-device) by fetching the label
at open-time and caching it until we close.

If the machine uses a Z85230 ESCC device with deep buffers, we observe
output glitches when printing the zstty{0,1} probe lines when the device
is reset & reprogrammed during startup.
There is no easy 'hook' in the MI Z8530 driver, so we wait for output
buffer to drain before changing the baud rate generator prescaler value.

If the DMA chaning interrupt couldn't be serviced immediately (higher spl
level when kernel doing something else) a few microseconds later the NCR
controller will fill its FIFO and also interrupt the CPU.
The SCSI interrupt sees the terminal count has been reached, calls
asc_dma_intr to finish the job off. The FIFO cannot be flushed because
the block count hasn't been setup for the last dma segment (DMA chaining
still wasn't serviced).
Since the NCR 53c94 FIFO is only 16 bytes in size, any short DMA in this
size combined with the machine 'doing something else' causes the problem
to occur.
Servicing the DMA chaining interrupt before the NCR SCSI interrupt solves
this problem.
Add tests to ensure the DMA FIFO has been flushed correctly at the end of
each DMA operation just to be on the safe side.
never got the wired bit set. This caused panics if a swapped out process
was swapped in again and the kernel stack had not yet been unmapped.
While here, add a forgotten lock initializer.
locked, cpu_exit needs to do that too. Since in the lock debug case we
have to use a CALLS which wipes out R0-R6, change the convention for Swtch
so that the proc is passed in R6 and that R6 is clobbered. This is so
Swtch itself doesn't have to save/restore the proc pointer explicitly.
