Update APM to use this facility.

- device_print_child() either lets the BUS_PRINT_CHILD
method produce the entire device announcement message or
it prints "foo0: not found\n"
Alter sys/kern/subr_bus.c:bus_generic_print_child() to take on
the previous behavior of device_print_child() (printing the
"foo0: <FooDevice 1.1>" bit of the announce message.)
Provide bus_print_child_header() and bus_print_child_footer()
to actually print the output for bus_generic_print_child().
These functions should be used whenever possible (unless you can
just use bus_generic_print_child())
The BUS_PRINT_CHILD method now returns int instead of void.
Modify everything else that defines or uses a BUS_PRINT_CHILD
method to comply with the above changes.
- Devices are 'on' a bus, not 'at' it.
- If a custom BUS_PRINT_CHILD method does the same thing
as bus_generic_print_child(), use bus_generic_print_child()
- Use device_get_nameunit() instead of both
device_get_name() and device_get_unit()
- All BUS_PRINT_CHILD methods return the number of
characters output.

Prompted by docs/12343, in which people seemed to get a little confused.
The original text in the file said:
[...]
# By default we use COM1 as our serial console port *if* we're going to use
# a serial port as our console at all. (0x3E8 = COM2)
#
#BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x3F8
[...]
From what I can make out, some people have assumed that means that if
they just uncomment the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT then it will use COM2:
These same people then assume that "0x3F8" on that line is a typo for
"0x3E8".
What it actually means is that if you uncomment the line then the default
stays as "Ox3F8" (COM1:), and that you have to uncomment the line, *and*
change the value of the variable in order to use COM2:.
So I've made that a little bit clearer. I've also listed the hex values
for COM1: thru COM4:, snarfed from sys/isa/isareg.h.

is obtained from NetBSD with modifications.
This code is work in progress:
As of the time of the initial import, a loader.exe executable is built,
which can be loaded on an Alpha with NT only firmware, but no attempt is
made to switch to OSF PAL code as required to start an actual kernel.

APM is supported it might be active at some point, and bail.
In reality, even this isn't good enough; regardless of whether we support
APM or not, the system may well futz with the CPU's clock speed and throw
the TSC off. We need to stop using it for timekeeping except under
controlled circumstances. Curse the lack of a dependable high-resolution
timer.
