ed 72727e8d9f Don't make Linux stat() open character devices to resolve its name.
The existing code calls kern_open() to resolve the vnode of a pathname
right after a stat(). This is not correct, because it causes random
character devices to be opened in /dev. This means ls'ing a tape
streamer will cause it to rewind, for example. Changes I have made:

- Add kern_statat_vnhook() to allow binary emulators to `post-process'
  struct stat, using the proper vnode.

- Remove unneeded printf's from stat() and statfs().

- Make the Linuxolator use kern_statat_vnhook(), replacing
  translate_path_major_minor_at().

- Let translate_fd_major_minor() use vp->v_rdev instead of
  vp->v_un.vu_cdev.

Result:

	crw-rw-rw- 1 root root   0, 14 Feb 20 13:54 /dev/ptmx
	crw--w---- 1 root adm  136,  0 Feb 20 14:03 /dev/pts/0
	crw--w---- 1 root adm  136,  1 Feb 20 14:02 /dev/pts/1
	crw--w---- 1 ed   tty  136,  2 Feb 20 14:03 /dev/pts/2

Before this commit, ptmx also had a major number of 136, because it
silently allocated and deallocated a pseudo-terminal. Device nodes that
cannot be opened now have proper major/minor-numbers.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
