-current commit for st.c, kernel support for /bin/mt's 'comp' option.
(tested with exabyte and DAT tape units. Does not apparently work with
all SCSI tape's, though).
- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections
- Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions. These will be
obsoleted when BTX is available for the 386 and the kernel load
area becomes directly addressable.
- Add the ability load an arbitrary file as a module, associating
and arbitrary type string with it. This can be used eg. for loading
splash-screen images etc.
- Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure. We know how to look for
dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies
and what to do if things go wrong. Only works for a.out at the
moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader. Attach KLD module information
to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it
can find it itself).
- Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary. Only pad the a.out BSS
for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away. (We might want
to do this for KLD modules too.)
- Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering
it with things like 'echo'. Add 'echo'.
- Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax.
- Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable.
- Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well
(not terribly useful for the average user)
- Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules.
- The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the
/boot directory to use that name.
- Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by
arch_readin()
vfsops. vfs_oid will be used to attach and detach vfs sysctls
dynamically. vfs_uninit() will be used to clean up before
modunloading vfs LKMs. The nfs LKM needs these features most.
src/lkm/Makefile.inc. This fixes broken builds of the syscons LKMs
when OBJFORMAT=elf. Removed src/lkm/Makefile.inc since it became
empty and is worse than useless.
as bridging statistics when using Luigi's bridging code.
Also added some ifdef's to (hopefully) get it to compile under 2.2.x

shared object. Note, this searches _only_ that object, and not its
needed objects, in accordance with the documentation.
Also fix dlopen(NULL, ...) so that the executable's needed objects
are searched as well as the executable itself.
