Will check and see if it'll fly.

Well, you had a couple little mistakes, but everything was pretty
much right on the money. It didn't take too much work at all, and
the result was well worth it.

I seriously pondered leaving out the debug driver for NEC, but that just
seemed too inconsiderate considering you gave me the code in the first
place! :-) But let's leave the rest at least until I reorganize the
source directories. As I understand it, much of your NEC-specific
code resides in distinct server directories, which should help keep it
clean.

I placed your code under #ifdef NEC. I placed the choice of serial
vs. console in the mach/param.h file. I also tidied all the debugger
stuff so that the getc() kind of function will be left out unless
KDB is defined. We're still a 40K microkernel when you leave out the
kernel debugger!
