keys on a pccons console keyboard.

Note that I only did this for the US type keyboard maps.
This and all other such options should be documented, and perhaps
rennamed with consistant PCCONS_ prefixes.
o option DISPLAY_ISO8859 enables the display of iso-latin1
character set (instead of the IBM page code 437)
o option FRENCH_KBD, GERMAN_KBD or NORVEGIAN_KBD implement
support for national keyboards (implies DISPLAY_ISO8859).
Originally supplied in PR #1529
2) Add option PCCONS_REAL_BS which (for US keyboards only) forces
backspace to really be backspace and not delete. Intended to close
PR #2264 submitted by Greg Woods. He wanted it changed for everyone
-- I thought adding a kernel compile option was friendlier.
Note: Both of these sets of options really should be documented in an
i386 specific version of options(4).
names for the lower density minor dev numbers. My shell code would
even work for a wt1 device, but I would seriously pity anyone trying
to get two of these things to work on one machine. Heck, no one should
even try to use ONE wt device.
the extension is grotesquely non-portable.
As requested by Denny Gentry in pr-3914. He supplied some code, but I
used all my own code in the change, and wrote documentation for the
man page.
This is creeping featurism at its worst. I added it only because I
can't see a good reason for refusing. However, I'm disgusted with
myself for doing it anyway.
(address error faults), as well as other reported problems:
- Simplify grfmv_phys() to work like grfiv_phys(), and eliminate the
second argument to both, as we don't use it anyway.
- Handle fbbase and fboff consistently throughout. Closes PR 3862.
- Eliminate grfaddr() by pulling it into grfmmap(), which is the
only place it was used, previously.
- grfmap() now gets the physical address of the framebuffer from
the appropriate driver, rather than try to compute it by itself.
Be careful with aligning the base to a page address and increase
the length of the mapped region appropriately. Closes PR 2867.
2) Add __RCSIDs where apropriate.
3) WARNS=1, and clean up sources for WARNS=1 (including replacement of
a mktemp with a mkstemp even though it was probably safe...)
4) Some other small cosmetic changes
a command to the 82586 for every frame to be transmitted. Instead, a
single command sets off the execution of a chain of commands consisting
of alternate XMITs and NO-OPs, where the link fields in the NO-OPs are
set to loop back onto themselves until the next XMIT is ready to go.
This trick found on a Linux WEB page.
All this induces reasonable transmission performance in my old multibus
adapter. The receiver performance is still abysmal..
