The original Berkeley Software Distributions were made in the 1980's
and 1990's. At that time, the Buenos Ares Convention of 1910 was in
force in most of the countries in the Americas. It required an
affirmative statement of rights reservation, typically using 'All
Rights Reserved.' The Regents included this phrase in their copyright
notices to invoke this treaty to ensure maximal copyright protection.
In the 1990's, Latin America coutries ratifeid the Berne Convention on
copyrights which prohibited them from requiring an affirmative
statement to reserve the rights. When Nicaragua ratified in 2000, the
Buenos Ares Convention of 1910 was effectively repealed. This made all
the 'All Rights Reserved' phrases obsolete and legal deadweight most
of the time, and certainly in the cases removed here.
Since it's no longer required, and is in fact meaningless, core has
decided to dropped it from the project's collection copyright and
sample templates. It encourages other rights holders to do the same
after consultation with their legal department.

It seems this script was broken because of the SYSINIT changes and a
rather awkward variable initialisation. For some reason the
make_device_driver.sh script is also broken, related to BUS_SETUP_INTR.
I have no experience with FreeBSD's interrupt handling, so I hope
someone else is willing to take a look at that shell script.

MFC after: 1 month
- Added check of dirs used by example generator
- Fixed path for ${s}/conf/files.FOO and include it via files
directive from config file
- Changed kernel configuration example with the driver: it is
not produced by copying Generic but by including it
- KDB is added to config (for DDB)
- Added module building instead and fixed kernel building

create a skeleton device driver.
one for a real device and the other for a pseudo device.
they each take one argument which is the name (prefix) for the driver.
they add the new file to the /sys tree and add appropriate config files
etc for a build.
hopefully others will build on this so that we get
1/ these drivers improved and the shell scripts
improved in how/where that hook the new code in.
2/ similar tools for providing skeletons for other
modules (I'm tempted to do a VFS filesystem skeleton :)
please take a look and fix anything that maybe should be added.
they compile and link fine,
but I think I wouldn't trust them, as faar as RUNNING yet :)
(well they really wouldn't do very much being skeletons..
we need to add PCI and EISA skeletons as well
followed by a SCSI driver skeleton.
