(And 4Kn minidump support, but only for amd64.)
Make sure all I/O to the dump device is of the native sector size. To
that end, we keep a native sector sized buffer associated with dump
devices (di->blockbuf) and use it to pad smaller objects as needed (e.g.
kerneldumpheader).
Add dump_write_pad() as a convenience API to dump smaller objects with
zero padding. (Rather than pull in NPM leftpad, we wrote our own.)
Savecore(1) has been updated to deal with these dumps. The format for
512-byte sector dumps should remain backwards compatible.
Minidumps for other architectures are left as an exercise for the
reader.

It allows implementing loadable kernel modules with new actions and
without needing to modify kernel headers and ipfw(8). The module
registers its action handler and keyword string, that will be used
as action name. Using generic syntax user can add rules with this
action. Also ipfw(8) can be easily modified to extend basic syntax
for external actions, that become a part base system.
Sample modules will coming soon.

In case where the two events were being received in separate reads, the
event buffer was being null-terminated at the wrong offset.
Also, factored out some common code between the tests, and fixed a comment.

This flag indicates that the user wishes to use the GELIBOOT feature to boot from a fully encrypted root file system.
Currently, GELIBOOT does not support key files, and in the future when it does, they will be loaded differently.
Due to the design of GELI, and the desire for secrecy, the GELI metadata does not know if key files are used or not, it just adds the key material (if any) to the HMAC before the optional passphrase, so there is no way to tell if a GELI partition requires key files or not.
Since the GELIBOOT code in boot2 and the loader does not support keys, they will now only attempt to attach if this flag is set. This will stop GELIBOOT from prompting for passwords to GELIs that it cannot decrypt, disrupting the boot process

two new pseudo variables $*, the entire event from devctl and $_,
the entire event without the type character, since it might be easier
to use in some circumstances.
Among other things this gives us the ability to find outthe syscall number of a dynamically loaded syscall that has a dynamicly allocated vector number.
