 Name:        »xfs_garbcoll« - Garbage collection.

 Parameters:

               a0 =     DMD *d
               -> d0 =  1L oder 0L

 Description: The kernel urgently requires internal GEMDOS memory and 
              uses xfs_garbcoll to perform a garbage collection. An 
              XFS that does not use the kernel's internal memory 
              management can place a NULL-pointer as a function here.

              Warning: As many blocks as possible should be released. 
              The return value is 1 if (at least) one block could be 
              released. During a garbage collection the kernel runs 
              through the whole list of mounted logical drives, so the 
              XFS requests a garbage collection as many times as the 
              number of drives it is managing at the time.

 Group:       Make-up of an XFS
