It is now possible to attach UML consoles and serial lines to host ports,
allowing them to be accessed by telnetting to that port. This also makes it
possible to access a UML from another machine without needing to put the UML
on the network.
Any number of devices can be attached to a port. Telnets will be attached
to them in some arbitrary order. Excess telnets over devices will hang
until a device becomes available.
The context switching mechanism has been redone so that it's far simpler.
UML can now be shut down by sending a SIGINT or SIGTERM to the tracing
thread, although this is somewhat buggy at the moment.
General purpose registers are now stored properly in core files.
Some buffer overruns in uml_net, one which is definitely exploitable, were
fixed. Thanks to Matt Zimmerman for spotting these.
Fixed various other bugs.
