Update of /cvsroot/src/sys/arch/i386/apm_init
In directory netbsd1:/var/slash-tmp/cvs-serv24299

Modified Files:
        Makefile Makefile.inc 
Added Files:
        biostramp.S 
Removed Files:
        apm_init.S real_prot.S real_prot.h table.c 
Log Message:
re-implement BIOS trampoline as a more general-purpose, reusable trampoline.
calling interface (via a grapple in locore.s) is:
/*
 * void bioscall(int function, struct apmregs *regs):
 *      call the BIOS interrupt "function" from real mode with
 *      registers as specified in "regs"
 *      (for the flags, though, only these flags are passed to the BIOS;
 *      the remainder come from the flags register at the time of the call:
 *      (PSL_C|PSL_PF|PSL_AF|PSL_Z|PSL_N|PSL_D|PSL_V)
 *
 *      Fills in *regs with registers as returned by BIOS.
 */

still some generalization to do (moving this to a better named location,
cleaning up #if tests from NAPM > 0 to something else to allow easy
sharing by other drivers)

Thanks to Charles Hannum for complaining about the previous BIOS grapple
and inspiring me to hack this one together.
