Add bd_getdev(), which attempts to return a dev_t corresponding

- Disks with no slice table (the slice number is not set correctly)
The first is difficult to get right, the second will be

of the ..umm.. "wierd" way binutils lays out the file. The section
headers are nearly at the end of the file and this is a problem when
loading from a .gz file which can't seek backwards (or has a limited
reverse seek, ~2K from memory).
This is intended to be compatable with the ddb/db_elf.c code and the
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c layout. I've studied these (which are NetBSD
derived) but did it a bit differently. Naturally the process is similar
since it's supposed to end up with the same result.
block descriptors enabled on mode sense commands.
Basically, we try sending a mode sense with block descriptors disabled (the
previous default), and if it fails, we try sending the mode sense with
block descriptors enabled. If that works, we note that in a runtime quirk
entry, so we don't bother disabling block descriptors again for the device.
This problem was first reported by Chris Jones <cjones@honors.montana.edu>
on one of the NetBSD lists, but I'd imagine that some FreeBSD users would
have run into it eventually as well, since our changer driver is derived
form the NetBSD changer driver.
Also, change some of the probe logic so that we do the right thing in the
case of a failure to attach.

Also, get rid of two OD driver options. The od driver has been made

o Use the board id command to find out what kind of board
we're talking to. If we're talking to a board that is has
an ID that is shared between boards supported by the aha
driver and the bt driver, then use the bt's geometry
register to weed out the bt cards. Otherwise assume that we
support this card.
o Remove bt esetup command sending to the card. It seems to
wedge too many cards.
o Revert to doing a soft reset after an invalid command. This
change didn't fix anything, so I'm backing it out. The

I think (but have not tested) it will also load "old" ELF kernels that
were not linked with DYNAMIC headers.
The module glue is yet to come. (oh fun.. :-)
It does not explicitly load symbols [yet]. The _DYNAMIC data contains a
runtime symbol set that ddb can use via ddb/db_kld.c. It'll be missing
some detail that stabs normally provides (eg: number of args to a function,
line numbers, etc). On the other hand, those minimal symbols will always
be available even on a stripped kernel.
This is mostly stolen from load_aout.c with some ideas from
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c.

modules. The alpha kernel is already done this way, I've borrowed some of
the hacks from there.
This is primarily aimed at the 3-stage boot process which is intended to
be able to do pre-loading of kernel modules.
Note that the entry point isn't 0xf0100000 any more, it'll be a little
further on - but this value is stored in the headers. I don't think this
will be a problem, but I'm sure somebody will tell me if it is. :-)
I'm not sure if btxboot is going to like this, it doesn't do proper ELF
header checking and assumes that there are exactly two program header
entries and that they are both PT_LOAD entries - a bad assumption.
