+.Sh NAME
+.Nm i386_vm86
+.Nd set virtual 8086 processor registers and mode
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <signal.h>
+.Fd #include <machine/segments.h>
+.Fd #include <machine/sysarch.h>
+.Fd #include <machine/vm86.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn i386_vm86 "struct vm86_struct *vmcp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn i386_vm86
+will set the process into virtual 8086 mode using the registers and
+selectors specified by the context pointed to by
+.Ar vmcp .
+The processor registers are set from
+.Ar vmcp->substr.regs ,
+and the emulated processor type from
+.Ar vmcp->substr.ss_cpu_type .
+.Pp
+The kernel keeps a pointer to the context, and uses the tables stored at
+.Ar vmcp->int_byuser
+and
+.Ar vmcp->int21_byuser
+for fast virtual interrupt handling. If the
+.Ar n th
+bit is clear in the first of
+these arrays, then the kernel may directly emulate the real-mode x86 INT
+.Ar n
+instruction handling. If the
+.Ar n
+th bit is set, then the process is
+delivered a signal when an INT instruction is executed.
+.Pp
+Since MS-DOS puts many DOS functions onto interrupt 21, it is handled
+specially: the
+.Ar k
+th bit in the
+.Ar vmcp->int21_byuser
+array is checked when INT
+.Ar 21
+is requested and the
+.Ar ah
+register is
+.Ar k .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+This routine does not normally return: 32-bit mode will be restored by
+the delivery of a signal to the process. In case of an error in setting
+the VM86 mode, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn i386_vm86
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width [EINVAL]
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The state at
+.Ar vmcp
+was not readable to the user process.
