two ways:
- the child gets its pid as retval[0] (userland stub will turn it into a 0),
retval[1] is 1 and it is 0 in the parent.
- in the child, the fork syscall is successful, hence we must skip the next
instruction.

kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)

before rev 1.4. This change makes OF 2.4 machines actually boot, and
it works fine on my OF 2.01 machine. No reports of failures on other
archs.
I expect this change is fine as the original code flushed the just-loaded
ofwboot out of the cache, conditionalized on FIRMWORKSBUGS. In rev.
1.4, the code got in-lined, and changed to actually flush low memory
out of the cache. Since machines kept booting, I expect the firmware
was really flushing the binary out of the cache, so we're fine.
rely on default value. It should actually be extracted
from the bootpath instead, but that involves translating
from apple partition map entries to netbsd disklabel entries.
are related to using libsa's alloc(). Problems go away with this alloc().
The problem is that the libsa alloc() assumes we can grab memory off
the end of the program. That assumption doesn't work for us. It's
much better to use the alloc() we were using as it calls OF_claim()
to get memory.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
