447deba3da Fix a bug in the block number calculation for VN disks with a sector
size != 512 that are configured without a label.  The bug should only
    have effected swap-backed VN mounts without a label.

    Add several major features to VN.  In the kernel we add a swap
    pre-reservation capability, which can be used to guarentee seek
    consistency for swap-backed VN nodes.  This also incidently allows
    a swap-backed VN filesystem to be recovered after a crash in some
    cases (if the same swap blocks happen to be reserved).

    We also add a number of new options to vnconfig which do the work
    of pre-zeroing or creating/truncating/extending a file which greatly
    simplifies using VN in a file-backed configuration.

    Add FreeBSD CVS label to sys/sys/vnioctl.h, as well as a new ioctl
    flag for the swap pre-reservation feature.

77cff66552 Make vnconfig's device argument not require a leading "/dev/", ala "ccdconfig".
Cleanup a few "-Wall -O" warnings.
Make "usage()" agree with man page.

85bee2f03a Turn an error into a warning. If running a 4.x binary on a 3.x system
we may still have vn in the kernel but not be able to see it.

This enables building -current SNAPS in a chroot on a -stable system

The old VN device broke in -4.x when the definition of B_PAGING
changed. This patch fixes this plus implements additional capabilities.
The new VN device can be backed by a file ( as per normal ), or it can
be directly backed by swap.

Due to dependencies in VM include files  (on opt_xxx options) the new
vn device cannot be a module yet. This will be fixed in a later commit.

958a83b970 Use new mount args (mount "ufs" instead of MOUNT_UFS).
vnconfig doesn't seem to be in Lite2, although dev/vn is.  The Lite2
merge in userland has converted all mount calls except this one and
one for devfs in init, so we can drop support for old mount args soon.

Vnconfig probably shouldn't support mounting - it only supports ufs.
