of sysinstall. So sysinstall may retire now, we have the important non-install part
of it covered.
ATM it doesn't understand GEOM stuff (like mirror, stripe, raid, ...), but patches
to change this and to clean it up internally are more than welcome.

at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.
this now compiles on i386 with WARNS?= 3. Most of the fixes included
adding missing 'static' keywords to internal functions, using fully-defined
terminators in statically defined arrays of structs, and various
signed vs unsigned mismatches. Also G/C'd unused configSecurity()
function.

- If we are running as init, popup the country menu before the main menu.
If a non-default country is chosen, then a second menu is brought up
to let the user choose a keymap. By default the default keymap for
the country that was selected is highlighted. If the user chooses the
default country, then the default keymap is just assumed and the user
is not presented with the keymap menu. Currently the default country
is set to "United States" except for PC98 which assumes "Japan".

to better deal with the fact that we need an EFI partition and
that we need to have a mountpoint for it.
o When creating a new partition, add EFI to the list of types
the user can select from. This makes it easy to create an EFI.
o Do not include wizard.c on ia64.
o The user cannot create a partition on ia64 that's a multiple of
the cylinder size. We don't have a notion of cyclinders.
Also add the ability to use Bzip'ed distributions -- but this is exclusive
of being able to use Gzip'ed distributions.

so know we have proper PKG registration and dependency information.
This is a WIP for 5.0 DP #1, so it is still rough around the edges and
does not GC the old XFree86 3.3.6 handling stuff that should be GC'ed.

installed ones under /boot (which we may not even have in the
case of a cross build).
This introduced chicken and egg problem - we need boot images
early in the "depend" stage but they have not yet been built.
Work around this by excluding the generated makeboot.c source
from the "depend" list; it's okay because we hardcode all its
dependencies explicitly. We actually lose the dependency bit
on <sys/types.h> but it's probably okay too as the only thing
we use is the u_char datatype and this is unlikely to change.
After all, it's normal for sloppy cleaning to cause problems.

Since userconfig feature is implemented by tweaking variables (hint.*)
with loader(8), we can put back an equivalent feature. Maybe the first
step for this is to commit yokota-san's patch (add userconfig command
for loader).

setting 'usbd_enable' in rc.conf during nwe installs if USB is detected.
Also, since usbd already handles USB mice automatically, note that the
mouse setup section in sysinstall only applies to non-USB mice.
