70cd771337 The present defaults for the open and close for device drivers which
provide no methods does not make any sense, and is not used by any
driver.

It is a pretty hard to come up with even a theoretical concept of
a device driver which would always fail open and close with ENODEV.

Change the defaults to be nullopen() and nullclose() which simply
does nothing.

Remove explicit initializations to these from the drivers which
already used them.

7ac40f5f59 Gigacommit to improve device-driver source compatibility between
branches:

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.

This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

963b82c64c Everywhere else, an argument passed to a device containing flags
is called "flags". Make it so here.

7f086a0852 Rename DIOCGKERNELDUMP to DIOCSKERNELDUMP as it strictly speaking
is a "set" not a "get" operation.

44731cab3b Change the suser() API to take advantage of td_ucred as well as do a
general cleanup of the API.  The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API.  The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument.  The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0.  The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

81661c94b6 Here follows the new kernel dumping infrastructure.
Caveats:

The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.

I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc.  (send me email if
you are interested).

Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.

All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.

Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.

Details:

ATA and SCSI drivers should work as the dump formatting code has been
removed.  The IDA, TWE and AAC have not yet been converted.

Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set
the device as dumpdev.  To implement the "off" argument, /dev/null
is used as the device.

Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented.  All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles
named from the MD5 hash of the header record.  The header record
is dumped in readable format in the .info file.  The kernel
is not saved.  Only complete dumps will be saved.

All maintainer rights for this code are disclaimed: feel free to
improve and extend.

511652767f During a verbose boot, call the null device 'null' rather than 'null0' to
be more consistent with the rest of the kernel.

11197ed12c Small style change; make function names less likely to clash with
existing names. "null" is too common a string; use "null_".

f6011da8dc New machine independant /dev/null and /dev/zero driver. This device is
severely stripped down compared with its predecessor, and is measurably
a _lot_ faster.

Many thanks to Jeroen van Gelderen for lots of good ideas.

There is still a problem with this; it is written as a mudule, and as
such is theoretically unloadable. However, there is no refcounting done
as I would prefer to do that a'la device_busy(9), rather than some
"home-rolled" scheme. The point is pretty moot, as /dev/null is
effectively compulsory.
