Ooops, this should have made it into the same commit, but didn't.
Introduce the SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC hooks that can be used to pass an
arbritrary ioctl subcommand into an interface driver. Surprisingly
enough, there was no provision for this already present (except of the
option of abusing SIOC[SG]IFMEDIA for this).
The idea is that an interface driver can establish ioctl subcommands
of its own that can't be meaningfully interpreted by the upper layer
interface ioctl function. Something like this is required to
implement a clean solution of passing down things like CHAP secrets or
PPP options to the /sys/net/if_sppp* files. (Yes, my CHAP is now
finally working with it, but i gotta update my kernel to the new
callout interface before being able to commit _that_.)

Support VJ maximum slot identifiers != 15.
Support VJ slot id compression.
Previously, ppp would negotiate a max slot between 2 & 15

It would then proceed to use 16 slots and no compression
anyway. The result was a rather unusable connection.

Since i've just touched <sys/syslog.h>, thereby causing a large part
of the system to be rebuilt anyway, this is a good time to introduce
LOG_NTP.
The reasoning for a separate facility is that xntpd can sometimes
cause exaggerative log message at high prioritites which are,
depending on your environment and available clock sources, not
necessarily as important as other LOG_DAEMON messages. However, they
used to clutter log files and system console in the existing setup.
Note that this situation could not be resolved using the !xntpd option
(think about it).
xntpd(8) is supposed to automatically pick up the change, it had
already all necessary #ifdef's.
The chosen value does, as far as my inquiries yielded, not clash with
any other operating system.

Change things around a bit when bringing down the layers.
o LcpLayerDown() no longer does a NewPhase(PHASE_TERMINATE).
Instead, it's done in LcpLayerFinish(). LayerFinish() gets
called by the FSM after the LCP FSM goes through the Stopping
and Stopped states.
o -direct and -background mode exit at PHASE_TERMINATE, not
PHASE_DEAD.
The result is that LCP, CCP & IPCP are brought down cleanly on both
sides of the link (not just our side). Killing ppp rather than just
closing it still makes it get out after the LCP SendTerminateReq().
I'll have a look at that soon. We're probably not actually sending
the REQ :-(

Make the blank screen saver work with MDA and CGA. The fade and green

fade * * NA OK

NA: doesn't work, the module cannot be loaded for this adapter.
