Without this booting the VSATV102 causes the blue "working" led to turn
off when the kernel starts up. With this the led (which is turned on by
the firmware) stays on since that's the default state specified in the FDT.
Expanded the meaning of the led_create_state state parameter in order
to implement support for "keep". The original values were:
== 0 Off
!= 0 On
The new values are:
== -1 don't change / keep current setting
== 0 Off
!= -1 && != 0 On
This should have no effect on acpi_asus_attach which only calls
led_create_state with state set to 1. Updated acpi_ibm_attach
in order to avoid surprises.

MFC after: 1 month
When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

Even though we got rid of device major numbers some time ago, device
drivers still need to provide unique device minor numbers to make_dev().
These numbers are only used inside the kernel. They are not related to
device major and minor numbers which are visible in devfs. These are
actually based on the inode number of the device.
It would eventually be nice to remove minor numbers entirely, but we
don't want to be too agressive here.
Because the 8-15 bits of the device number field (si_drv0) are still
reserved for the major number, there is no 1:1 mapping of the device
minor and unit numbers. Because this is now unused, remove the
restrictions on these numbers.
The MAXMAJOR definition was actually used for two purposes. It was used
to convert both the userspace and kernelspace device numbers to their
major/minor pair, which is why it is now named UMINORMASK.
minor2unit() and unit2minor() have now become useless. Both minor() and
dev2unit() now serve the same purpose. We should eventually remove some
of them, at least turning them into macro's. If devfs would become
completely minor number unaware, we could consider using si_drv0 directly,
just like si_drv1 and si_drv2.

The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.

The hardware driver decides the name under /dev/led and provides
the function to turn the lamp on/off.
All leds are serviced by a single timeout which runs at a basic rate
of hz/10.
The LED is controlled by ascii strings as follows.
0 Turn off.
1 Turn on.
f Flash: _-
f2 Flash: __--
f3 Flash: ___---
