[9fans] had to tell someone... bitsy pm

Lines with `!' come from a con window to the bitsy


!Plan 9 bitsy kernel

!oot is from (sac)[sac]:

!I'm back to life
!still here

where "still here" comes from dram, so looks like it's kept in
good shape.

The bad news is that I'm not recovering all the state needed yet, I
know that because the display gets the power back but it shows
nothing.  What remains to be done doesn't look complicated, but my
ignorance regarding bitsy, arm's asm, 5a/5l, and bootldr, is pretty big.
I'll put some more time on this to see if I can make it work.

Cool, I'm impressed.

We're nearly finished converting the bitsy kernel to 9P2000.
