klibc - Jan 2004 - need a few additions

I have my VBIOS reset program working on klibc now. I think I have tracked down
and fixed all of the problems I was having. So to make this official I need a
few minor klibc additions:

1) fix inb/w/l to return the right variable. 
2) implement getpagesize()
3) add support for vm86 - one function and one header file.

Later, if you're interested, we could modify the vm86 function to call the
x86
emulator lib on non-X86 machines. This would make more x86 video cards usable on
these machines. It's 140K library so it would need to be optional.

You might want to move the structure definitions out of asm/vm86.h and into
sys/vm86.h. This would make it transparent when switching to the emulator.

Those should all be in 0.98.

It's basically another library.

No, that would mean the emulator library should provide its own sys/vm86.h.
