new files: kern.pre.mk, which contains most of the definitions, and
kern.post.mk, which contains most of the rules.
I've tested this on i386 and pc98. I have had feedback on the sparc64
port, but no reports from anybody on alpha, ia64 or powerpc. I
appologize in advance if I've broken you.

booted from it when doing an installkernel.
Only change kern.bootfile from ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}/${KERNEL_KO}
to ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}.old/${KERNEL_KO}, and only when we're renaming
a booted ${DESTDIR}${KODIR}/${KERNEL_KO} kernel.
Small tweaks to kldxref may be necessary to avoid the surprising (but harm-
less) behaviour of 'kldload foo' loading foo.ko.debug instead of foo.ko if
it is present in the kernel directory.

to locore to process the @fptr relocations in the dynamic executable.
* Don't initialise the timer until *after* we install the timecounter to
avoid a race between timecounter initialisation and hardclock.
* Tidy up bootinfo somewhat including adding sanity checks for when the
kernel is loaded without a recognisable bootinfo.
Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

We are way too inconsistent with our setting of the "schg" flag, and in
our default install, it doesn't really offer any additional security.

that I removed in my last commit dealing with `make depend' bogons.
This commit has some races, but hopefully they are too short to matter.
Unfortuneatly, neither .newdep nor .olddep is removed by `make clean'.

o Use objdump instead of gensetdefs(1) to build the linker sets.
o Allow overriding of nm and objdump in resp. genassym.sh and
gensetdefs.pl for non-native toolchains.

{kernel,modules}-reinstall.debug rather than {kernel,modules}-reinstall.
Otherwise, the '.debug' portion of the target is lost, and you end up
reinstalling the non debug version instead of the debug version.
not work on any real hardware (or fully work on any simulator). Much more
needs to happen before this is actually functional but its nice to see
the FreeBSD copyright message appear in the ia64 simulator.
