* Rename the kern.vm.kmem.size tunable to the more logical vm.kmem_size. Todes2004-01-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | assure backward compatibility (conditional on !BURN_BRIDGES), look it up by its old name first, and log a warning (but accept the setting) if it was found. If both the old and new name are defined, the new name takes precedence. Also export vm.kmem_size as a read-only sysctl variable; I find it hard to tune a parameter when I don't know its default value, especially when that default value is computed at boot time.

* Some more i386-only BIOS-friendliness:msmith2000-04-161-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | - Add support for using the PCI BIOS functions for configuration space accesses, and make this the default. - Make PNPBIOS the default (obsoletes the PNPBIOS config option). - Add two new boot-time tunables to disable each of the above.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change include() so it will be able to load files with forth code, instead of just builtins. Remove #@- from the include section of the help file, since they don't work in the new version of include, unless BOOT_FORTH is not defined. Change bf_run() so it will return the result returned by ficlExec(). Also, make bf_run() push "interpret" to be executed by ficlExec(), since ficlExec() doesn't do it by itself. (Things worked previously because nothing recursed through ficlExec() by the way of bf_run()). Change/extend comments on builtin behavior. Search for "interpret" at the end of bf_init(), so /boot/boot.4th can provide it's own version. Remove dead code.
