bfbb9ce670 Divorce "dev_t" from the "major|minor" bitmap, which is now called
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.

Provide functions to manipulate both types:
        major()         umajor()
        minor()         uminor()
        makedev()       umakedev()
        dev2udev()      udev2dev()

For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.

Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.

Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.

In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.

In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits.  This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).

A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference.  If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.

Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.

Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.

Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).

a6c122eaf6 coda_lookup now passes up an extra flag. But old veni will
be ok; new veni will check /dev/cfs0 to make sure that a new
kernel is running.
Also, a bug in vc_nb_close iff CODA_SIGNAL's were seen has been
fixed.

e8e04c2b37 Venus must be passed O_CREAT flag on VOP_OPEN iff this is
a creat so that we can will allow a mode 444 file to be
written into.  Sync with the latest coda.h and deal with
collateral damage.

9afcea2f4a All the references to cfs, in symbols, structs, and strings
have been changed to coda.  (Same for CFS.)
