Retrieves that path for a device. Different methods to enumerat the path
are supported, called locators.

This adds it to devctl, libdevctl, defines the two IOCTLs and
implements the kernel bits. causes any new drivers that are added via
kldload to be deferred until a 'thaw' comes in. These do not stack: it
is an error to freeze while frozen, or thaw while thawed.

Add a new 'clear driver' command for devctl along with the accompanying
ioctl and devctl_clear_driver() library routine to reset a device to
use a wildcard devclass instead of a fixed devclass. This can be used
to undo a previous 'set driver' command. After the device's name has
been reset to permit wildcard names, it is reprobed so that it can
attach to newly-available (to it) device drivers.

'devctl delete' can be used to delete a device that is no longer present.
As an anti-foot-shooting measure, 'delete' will not delete a device
unless it's parent bus says it is no longer present. This can be
overridden by passing the force ('-f') flag.
Note that this command should be used with care. If a device is deleted
that is actually present it can't be resurrected unless the parent bus
device's driver supports rescans.

The BUS_RESCAN() method rescans a single bus device checking for devices
that have been added or removed from the bus. A new 'rescan' command is
added to devctl(8) to trigger a rescan.

This is not properly respecting WITHOUT or ARCH dependencies in target/.
Doing so requires a massive effort to rework targets/ to do so. A
better approach will be to either include the SUBDIR Makefiles directly
and map to DIRDEPS or just dynamically lookup the SUBDIR. These lose
the benefit of having a userland/lib, userland/libexec, etc, though and
results in a massive package. The current implementation of targets/ is
very unmaintainable.
Currently rescue/rescue and sys/modules are still not connected.

allows the user to request administrative changes to individual devices
such as attach or detaching drivers or disabling and re-enabling devices.
- Add a new /dev/devctl2 character device which uses ioctls for device
requests. The ioctls use a common 'struct devreq' which is somewhat
similar to 'struct ifreq'.
- The ioctls identify the device to operate on via a string. This
string can either by the device's name, or it can be a bus-specific
address. (For unattached devices, a bus address is the only way to
locate a device.) Bus drivers register an eventhandler to claim
unrecognized device names that the driver recognizes as a valid address.
Two buses currently support addresses: ACPI recognizes any device
in the ACPI namespace via its full path starting with "\" and
the PCI bus driver recognizes an address specification of
'pci[<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>:<func>' (identical to the PCI selector
strings supported by pciconf).
- To make it easier to cut and paste, change the PnP location string
in the PCI bus driver to output a full PCI selector string rather
than 'slot=<slot> function=<func>'.
- Add a devctl(3) interface in libdevctl which provides a wrapper around
the ioctls and is the preferred interface for other userland code.
- Add a devctl(8) program which is a simple wrapper around the requests
supported by devctl(3).
- Add a device_is_suspended() function to check DF_SUSPENDED.
- Add a resource_unset_value() function that can be used to remove a
hint from the kernel environment. This is used to clear a
hint.<driver>.<unit>.disabled hint when re-enabling a boot-time
disabled device.
