      3 This directory contains 'rasops', a set of raster operations intended to
      4 replace the dev/rcons/raster stuff for both wscons and rcons. It yields
      5 significantly improved performance, supports multiple depths and color.
      6 
      7 The stamp_mutex used by some of the colordepths is not fully atomic. It's
      8 designed to stop stamp corruption in the event that text is printed at
      9 interrupt time. Even if it fails, >99% of the time text will be white on
     10 black, so it doesn't really matter. Going to splhigh for each character is
     11 a Bad Thing.
