that might have changed, then did a byte-by-byte comparison with
the alternate. If any unused fields got used, they had to be added
to the exception list. Such changes caused too many false alarms.
So, I have changed the comparison algorithm to compare a selected
set of fields that are not expected to change. This new algorithm
causes far fewer false hits and still does a good job of detecting
problems when they have really occurred. In particular, this change
should ease the transition to kernels supporting UFS2 which make
some significant changes to the superblock.

in dump byte order (=network byte order). Swap blocksize and dumptime
to avoid extraneous padding on 64-bit architectures. Use CTASSERT
instead of runtime checks to make sure the header is 512 bytes large.
Various style(9) fixes.

Commandline compatible with the previous savecore unless you specify
any options, none of them are implemented (yet).
Scans all devices marked "dump" or "swap" for dump header signatures
and saves dumps off under a name which is a MD5 hash of the header
information. This should give unique filenames. A *.info file contains
ascii version of the header information.
Caveats:
The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.
I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).
Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.
All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.
Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.

Details:
Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set it
to be the dumpdevice. When "off" is set, /dev/null is used.
that could be used to set/get arbitrary length link level
addresses. Alias "lladdr" parameter and "ether" family
to the new "link" family for backward compatibility.

It does not help modern compilers, and some may take some hit from it.
(I also found several functions that listed *every* of its 10 local vars with
"register" -- just how many free registers do people think machines have?)
diskdrives do neither need nor want:
-O create a 4.3BSD format filesystem
-d rotational delay between contiguous blocks
-k sector 0 skew, per track
-l hardware sector interleave
-n number of distinguished rotational positions
-p spare sectors per track
-r revolutions/minute
-t tracks/cylinder
-x spare sectors per cylinder
No change in the produced filesystem image unless one or more of
these options were used.

open "/dev/stdout". This doesn't actually affect growfs, but does affect
ffsinfo, permitting ffsinfo to output to the shell's stdout rather than
requiring it be dumped to a file or explicitly pointed at a special
device.
