Fix the ELF image activator so that it can handle dynamic linkers
which are executables linked at a fixed address. This improves
compliance with the ABI spec, and it opens the door to possibly
better dynamic linker performance in the future. I've experimented
a bit with a fixed-address dynamic linker, and it works fine. But
I don't have any measurements yet to determine whether it's
worthwhile.
Also, remove a few calculations that were never used for anything.
I will increment __FreeBSD_version, since this adds a new capability
to the kernel that the dynamic linker might some day rely upon.

peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.
This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.
This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.
The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.
Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.
Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and
for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did
object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the
priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted
here.

to an architecture-specific value defined in <machine/elf.h>. This
solves problems on large-memory systems that have a high value for
MAXDSIZ.
The load address is controlled by a new macro ELF_RTLD_ADDR(vmspace).
On the i386 it is hard-wired to 0x08000000, which is the standard
SVR4 location for the dynamic linker.
On the Alpha, the dynamic linker is loaded MAXDSIZ bytes beyond
the start of the program's data segment. This is the same place
a userland mmap(0, ...) call would put it, so it ends up just below
all the shared libraries. The rationale behind the calculation is
that it allows room for the data segment to grow to its maximum
possible size.
These changes have been tested on the i386 for several months
without problems. They have been tested on the Alpha as well,
though not for nearly as long. I would like to merge the changes
into 3.1 within a week if no problems have surfaced as a result of
them.

c_caddr_t with extreme prejudice. Here the point of the original
cast to caddr_t was to break the warning about the const mismatch
between write(2)'s `const void *buf' and `struct uio's `char
*iov_base' (previous bitrot gave a gratuitous dependency on caddr_t
being char *). Compiling with -Wcast-qual made the cast a full
no-op.
This change has no effect on the warning for discarding `const'
on assignment to iov_base. The warning should not be fixed by
splitting `struct iovec' into a non-const version for read()
and a const version for write(), since correct const poisoning
would affect all pointers to i/o addresses. Const'ness should
probably be forgotten by not declaring it in syscalls.master.
This takes the conditionals out of the code that has been tested by
various people for a while.
