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

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.

cafefe8c1b Include missing header files which define functions for which gcc has
builtins (e.g., exit, strcmp).

ee072c08d0 Convert dumpon to work on character devices instead of block devices.
NB: You may need to change your /etc/rc.conf!

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

83f9dfab4d My utility to specify where you want crash dumps to go. More user
and kernel support to follow.
