236ad5eb3c * Enable old UFS compatibility code for booting from Digital Unix formatted
disks.
* Fix a whole raft of warnings, printf and otherwise.
* Make zalloc work for alpha (just a case of using the right typedef).
* Add some (disabled) malloc debug printing to stand.h.

ea783268e7 Replace the old and extremely icky Mach/NetBSD allocator with a similarly
compact and much better one donated by Matt Dillon.  Implement a simple
sbrk() which uses the existing setheap() api.

Remove the custom allocator from the UFS code.  It wasn't working quite
right, and it shouldn't be needed with the new allocator.

Fix a serious problem with changing the value of already-existent
environment variables.  Don't attempt to modify the supposedly-const
argument to putenv()

Fix an off-by-one sizing error in the zipfs code detected by the new
allocator.

48b3e54701 Allocate disk buffers using a custom allocator. The standard allocator fragments
extremely badly if disk buffers are freed back into the main heap and the alpha
bootstrap has a restricted address space which just ran out :-(.

3b7700ffef Path arguments to *_open functions should be const, but we were mangling
them.
