many of these fix potential security problems in these drivers.

the d_mmap cdev routine should be changed to have a prototype like:

consoles for TC alphas. Based on code from Takuya Koumoto
<takuya-k@is.aist-nara.ac.jp> as well as some parts of Toru Nishimura's
and Matthias Drochner's work on pmax wscons. This relies on the
NEW_SCC_DRIVER.
The graphics device driver passes a "default attribute" for normal text
output to the wscons framework. If the emulation module needs more
attributes (for different "renditions") it can allocate them via a
callback.
For now, only the "sun" emulation makes use of it.
a function) which specifies how many lines will be skipped when scrolling
up when the bottom of the screen is reached. Dumb framebuffers skip 10
lines (as before) because the copies are s ... l ... o ... w, but it's
silly to skip 10 lines on VGA, since the copies are much faster, so we
only skip one in that case.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
a char *, because that's what was really intended, and because
if the print function modifies the string, various things could become
unhappy (so the string should _not_ be modified).
reasons: it won't attach as console, and there's currently no way to do
keyboard input on TC machines), and has no real RAMDAC (colormap, cursor,
etc.) support. Digital UNIX does not support CFB frame buffers in the
Alpha, but they appear to work OK (with an appropriate monitor) in my
3000/300.
