9e9c1cad4c 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:

Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set it
to be the dumpdevice.  When "off" is set, /dev/null is used.

dcd7d9b7b7 Allow dump device be configured as early as possible using loader(8) tunable.
This allows obtaining crash dumps from the panics occured during late stages
of kernel initialisation before system enters into single-user mode.

d9a9b8dbb6 * Clarify text on choosing a dump device
* Remove the text which states only devices with minor number 1 can be used
  - this is no longer true.
* Mention that dumpon(8) cannot be used to capture dumps from panics during
  kernel initialization.
* /dev/wd -> /dev/ad

fd5075e5c6 Back out the new advice introduced in the previous commit, which at
least one reviewer is now unhappy with, since it contains incomplete
and misleading advice that is not easy to correct.

The net effect of this commit and the previous commit is to simply
remove all discussion of setting dumpdev to catch crash dumps
prior to entering user mode.

4bd9ba3c2f Fixed some minor formatting problems to silence manck some more.
Corrected some bogus cross references to man pages that we don't/won't
have and either deleted them, or found a more appropriate man page
that we do have.  Various other minor changes to silence manck.

Manck is currently down to about 200 lines of errors, down from
the 500 - 600+ when I started all this.
