The first use of this will be to get the correct memory size from INT 15:E820/E801/88 calls. Most changes are bracketed by #ifdef VM86 calls, so there should almost no differences if this is not defined. However, I would like to see the VM86 option disappear, or at least become mandatory, so please test these out. This will be followed shortly by the ability to use 16-bit protected-mode calls, and the conversion of APM to use the new interface. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
