By enabling the 'all_rings' option, you can utilize the port e9 hack
from ring3
IMO very useful for:
- user-mode sandbox (ex Cuckoo)
- malware analysis
- API/SYSCALL logger with a simple hook from ring3
- automation + instrumentation from user mode code
- ...
So yes, from this PR a user-mode-sandbox can display on the console of
the system running Bochs anything that is written to 0xE9 port
**This PR is 100% backward compatibility**
btw, @stlintel I'm not certain if **bochs/config.cc** is the ideal
location to define **bool port_e9_hack_all_rings** (unmapped io/dev is
better?)
This adds over-current signaling to the USBs four host controllers.
To signal an OC, use the runtime configuration and set the checkbox (GUI) or text config's parameter to 1.
This pull request also adds USB documentation to user.dbk.
- Fixed USB devices list by adding a terminating NULL entry.

- Related documentation updates.
loaded in bochsrc with "plugin_ctrl" or with their own name, the user plugin
option and the special cases for PLUGTYPE_USER are no longer needed. Updated
example patch to make it work with the latest SVN code.
- The selected / detected disk image mode is now stored as a string constant to
simplify code (same as Bochs core).
- Changed command line option to select operation mode to "-func=X" to avoid
confusion with disk image mode.
- Documentation updates.
implementing disk image support with an external C++ class. With the new code
it's now easier to implement support for additional disk images formats, so we
don't need the old stub anymore.

The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- Now cursor can appear in two different modes (if supported by terminal)
- Simplified text cursor handling.
- Show a status bar if terminal has enough lines for it. Added "show IPS" output
there unless display library option "hideIPS" is used.
