* Make the ring buffer size and water marks patchable, and allocate the buffer
separately.
* Do the ttymalloc() at attach time.
* Reorganize the receive buffer so the status and data pair are next to each
other. This is slightly faster.
* Make sure we actually do turn off interrupts in comclose() if we have DDB
configured and it's not the console. (D'oh!!!!)
* When we exhaust the current transmit run, turn off transmit interrupts in
comintr(), so we're fairly sure we don't get another one.
* Nuke the silly lsrmap[] idea; it's slower in the normal case.
* Cache the l_rint pointer in the soft interrupt routine.
* Carrier detect (TS_CARR_ON) is based on the actual DCD bit, even if it's
being ignored.
* Set TS_WOPEN early on in zsopen().
* Don't disable interrupts on the console during close if we have DDB.
Inert changes:
* Don't handle ZS_HWFLAG_NO_DCD here; the frontend does it.
* Deprecate `register'.
* Use SET(), CLR(), and ISSET().
More performance changes:
* Rototill receive handling; use a backpressure mechanism to prevent livelock.
* Output silo/ibuf overflow warnings at most once per minute, from a callout.
* When we exhaust the current transmit run, turn off transmit interrupts in
zstty_txint(), so we're fairly sure we don't get another one.

* Correct arg typo in mv_within_target_or_die().
* Add new path-prefixing entrypoints to fopen(), collect(), and do mounts.
* Use the above. MI code is now clean of explicit references to /mnt.
* Lint: add `const' to collect()'s pathname arg.
include <stdio.h> in factor.c, now that defs.h uses FILE*.
* Put newfs-and-mount code into a separate function, in case
we want to support non-ffs filesystems.
* Check for the currently-mounted root, and don't newfs or mount it.
Assumes md code will also avoid changing that partition.
* renames of files from one pathname within the target to another
(e.g., mv_within_target_or_die("/etc", "/etc.old");
* check to see if a partition name like "sd0a" is the current root
* Duplicate a file from the current root into the target root
(for copying /netbsd from RAMdisk into the target).
A no-op if the root is the install target).
Start using these where appropriate.
Change net.c to avoid losing any information when updating network
config files: where possible, do appends to files that might have more
info than we got from the user (e.g., /etc/hosts.)
Where possible, add comment saying file was created/modified by sysinst.
destination register bit pattern with 1.0), which automatically provides

Missing ftwotox emulation originally reported by Norman Mackenzie in PR 4237,
but he proposed a different implementation.
- Map in all physical memory first in system space. This reduces
pmap_copy_page() and pmap_zero_page to 3 resp. 2 instructions.
- Have fized position user page tables. Makes the pv_table smaller
and all reverse references faster (and simpler).
- Remove the wiring code. Nobody doesn't even know what a DR32 is anymore.
- Simulate page reference bit by setting page invalid, as suggested by
Rich Draves in a paper for 1991 Mach Usenix Symposium.
This reduced the time spent in the pmap module to between 70-75% of
the previous; and made process startup _much_ faster.
