Ben Gras 35a108b911 panic() cleanup. 
this change
   - makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting -
     no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements
     needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing
   - unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone -
     vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently
     in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer
   - throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy.
     the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel
     so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g.
         panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno);
     looks like:
         at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0
         syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a
   - throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful
   - harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places
     that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines
     (messes up the formatting) in panic()
   - throws out a few per-server panic() functions
   - cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic()

merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.

README 

This is my implementation of a new network task 
for the Minix kernel.  I did it initially to handle
a 3c501 board (Etherlink), but those board are so
unstable that it is not worth using them except for
learning how to implement a driver.  When I got a
3c509b board (Etherlink III) it was easier to
write the code to handle them.  

The Minix code in 'dp8390.c' is too specific for the
National chip set, so what I did was to remove as 
much as I needed of the code dependant from the chip
and produce a generic task that, I hope, will be able
to handle many more cards.

Import of dpeth 3c501/3c509b/.. ethernet driver by
Giovanni Falzoni <fgalzoni@inwind.it>.

Revision 1.3  2004/04/14 12:49:07  lsodgf0
Changes for porting to Minix 2.0.4 run on BOCHS

Revision 1.2  2002/03/25 14:16:09  lsodgf0
The driver for the NEx000 has been rewritten to be
operational with the ACCTON 18xx (an NE1000 clone)
The I/O routines for 16 bit cards are still untested..

Revision 1.1  2002/02/09 09:35:09  lsodgf0
Initial revision
The package is not fully tested, i.e. I had only 3Com
boards (3c501, 3c503, 3c503/16 and 3c509b) and WD8003.
I got also a NE1000 clone but it was not fully
operational and I could not appreciate the results.
For this reason the changes done to the interface
to I/O for 8 and 16 bits are not tested.
