I'm sorry I don't know. I just thought OF_write() is too slow,
it would be more efficient to write at once. So I stole the code
from OpenBSD.

top says "0.5% sys" when I use OFW_POLL_HZ with 100. But when I
change the value to 20, top said "0.0% sys". With the value 20,
I had no lost characters on console. So in practice, the OFW_POLL_HZ
could be set to 20 or less than the value. 
Thank you for pointing out.
