No. The changes I made should not affect your problems :-( It's just
the kernel size that goes down about 35kbytes (for KLONDIKE). And
softint handling is less expensive now. If you are interested, you
can look at the comments in intr.c:intr_init().

HSOFT is/was an option of Phil's serial driver. The new driver had the
option to use an hardware interrupt for it's softints. But now I'm
using this interrupt all software interrupts, so HSOFT will no longer
work.
