lsdev command does walk over devsw list, prints list element name and
will use dv_print() callback to print the device list.
Unfortunately this approach will add unneeded noise when there are no
particular devices detected.
To remove "empty" device section headers, the dv_print() callback
should print the header instead.
In addition, fixed dv_print callback for md module.

This change does modify devsw dv_print() to return the int value,
enabling walkers to interrupt the walk on non zero value from dv_print().
This will allow the pager_print actually to stop displaying data on
user input, and additionally pager is used in various *dev_print callbacks,
where it was missing.
For test, lsdev [-v] command should display data by screenfuls and should
stop when the key 'q' is pressed on pager prompt.

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

here, so disable detaching for umass driver.

/usr/bin/cc and running it from OBJDIR. (It will be moved to usr.bin
once a manpage is written and a few style cleanups are done.)

Move USB support into a .mk file so loaders can include it.

by moving some big stack members to the scratch area. This saves around
200 bytes of stack.
