0983f2b022 English fixes: consistent spacing after periods, "userland", not "user land",
other typos, ~four grammar gnits, an ironic case of incorrect
               parallelization, bad capitalization, an incorrect use of the
               infamous slash ('/'), and an unclear sentence.

4ac29fd62e Bruce noted that the use of err(), fixed to errx() in the last commit,
did not specify an exit code.  This implies the use of either a hand-
rolled err() (Bruce's suggestion) or a random error code (my suggestion),
both of which are against the style guidelines.  This commit specifies
the correct error code (implicitly).  This also changes the error message
to be a little more helpful.

15317dd875 Alter the behavior of sys/kern/subr_bus.c:device_print_child()
- device_print_child() either lets the BUS_PRINT_CHILD
	  method produce the entire device announcement message or
	  it prints "foo0: not found\n"

Alter sys/kern/subr_bus.c:bus_generic_print_child() to take on
the previous behavior of device_print_child() (printing the
"foo0: <FooDevice 1.1>" bit of the announce message.)

Provide bus_print_child_header() and bus_print_child_footer()
to actually print the output for bus_generic_print_child().
These functions should be used whenever possible (unless you can
just use bus_generic_print_child())

The BUS_PRINT_CHILD method now returns int instead of void.

Modify everything else that defines or uses a BUS_PRINT_CHILD
method to comply with the above changes.

	- Devices are 'on' a bus, not 'at' it.
	- If a custom BUS_PRINT_CHILD method does the same thing
	  as bus_generic_print_child(), use bus_generic_print_child()
	- Use device_get_nameunit() instead of both
	  device_get_name() and device_get_unit()
	- All BUS_PRINT_CHILD methods return the number of
	  characters output.

5bf6ab8369 Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

75c1354190 This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature.
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing.  The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.

For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact:  "real virtual servers".

Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.

Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.

It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.

A few notes:

   I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.

   The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.

   mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.

   /proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
   jailed processes.

   Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.

   There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.

   Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!

Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

Have fun...

2a888f938e Add a prioritization field to the devstat_add_entry() call so that
peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.

This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed.  The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.

This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order.  So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.

The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers.  For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.

Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.

Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and
for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it.  Bruce did
object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the
priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted
here.
