This reduces the noise in error reporing from sysctl(8):
Before:
$ sysctl bla=something
sysctl: unknown oid 'bla': No such file or directory
After:
$ sysctl bla=something
sysctl: unknown oid 'bla'

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

happily return 0 bytes, which isn't too useful or random...

optional attributes field.
- Add a 'machdep.smap' sysctl that exports the SMAP table of the running
system as an array of the ACPI 3.0 structure. (On older systems, the
attributes are given a value of zero.) Note that the sysctl only
exports the SMAP table if it is available via the metadata passed from
the loader to the kernel. If an SMAP is not available, an empty array
is returned.
- Add a format handler for the ACPI 3.0 SMAP structure to the sysctl(8)
binary to format the SMAP structures in a readable format similar to
the format found in boot messages.

Add the following flags to sysctl:
-W - show only writable sysctls
-T - show only tuneable sysctls
This can be used to create a /var/run/sysctl.boot to
compare set tunables versus booted tunables.

requires all SYSCTL setups to specify a type. Most of them are now
checked at compile-time.
Remove SYSCTL_*X* sysctl additions as the print being in hex should be
controlled by the -x flag to sysctl(8).

retrieving individual OIDs. This allows the same list of OIDs to be
passed to sysctl(8) across different systems where particular OIDs may not
exist, and still get as much information as possible from them.

Right now sysctl just prints the major/minor numbers of a device.
Instead of rolling our own routine for this, we'd better just call
devname(3) to perform a translation to a device name for us.
Don't clobber *p with '\0' when testing whether it has the value of 'F'.
Just use the semantics of strtof() properly. If it returns p, we know
that it parsed the string until it reached 'C' or 'F'.
The code has not changed since it has been imported (r161951, Sep 3,
2006).
