. always keep reading data from uart so the interrupt is
not continually asserted if data is sent but no process
reads it
. increase tx & rx fifo trigger levels -> reduces the number
of interrupts necessary
. bigger rx/tx buffers

. ignore interrupt (stop interrupt check loop) if
interrupt bit not set; limit loop too
. mask off other bits when testing bits in the status register
. this fixes rs232 output that would otherwise never get re-triggered
as too many bits were set in the status byte to match the
possibilities.

The kernel API for requesting interrupts and the associated callback
have a somewhat strange behaviour. Requesting an interrupts is done
by calling sys_irqsetpolicy using an interrupt and a given id. This
id can be modified by the sys_irqsetpolicy and must be used for
subsequent calls to sys_irqenable/sys_irqdisable. However upon an
incoming call from the kernel NOTIFY_ARG contains the original value
encoded in a set e.g. if 1 << id == true the interrupt was raised.
Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.
There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
* Updating common/lib
* Updating lib/csu
* Updating lib/libc
* Updating libexec/ld.elf_so
* Corrected test on __minix in featuretest to actually follow the
meaning of the comment.
* Cleaned up _REENTRANT-related defintions.
* Disabled -D_REENTRANT for libfetch
* Removing some unneeded __NBSD_LIBC defines and tests

.Split TTY in order to support both x86 and ARM.
.Add support for the TI 16750 UARTs on OMAP35x.
.Various other improvements:
.Kernel messages are printed using generic terminal write
functions. That is, they are no longer directly displayed
on the console.
.The console can now be displayed on any terminal. This
is configured by the "console={tty00,tty01,ttyc2,ttyc3,ttyc4}"
boot variable -- basically any valid /dev/tty* terminal.
.Cutify kernel messages with colors. Configured by
"kernelclr={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}" boot variable.
