Remove old DEVFS support fields from dev_t.
Make uid, gid & mode members of dev_t and set them in make_dev().
Use correct uid, gid & mode in make_dev in disk minilayer.
Add support for registering alias names for a dev_t using the
new function make_dev_alias(). These will show up as symlinks
in DEVFS.
Use makedev() rather than make_dev() for MFSs magic devices to prevent
DEVFS from noticing this abuse.
Add a field for DEVFS inode number in dev_t.
Add new DEVFS in fs/devfs.
Add devfs cloning to:
disk minilayer (ie: ad(4), sd(4), cd(4) etc etc)
md(4), tun(4), bpf(4), fd(4)
If DEVFS add -d flag to /sbin/inits args to make it mount devfs.

that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

have a chance of booting up ok after installing. The real fix for this
problem is to rewrite userconfig in Forth, stick it in the loader, axe
userconfig from the kernel, and extract the hints from the booted kernel in
sysinstall similar to the way we generate /boot/kernel.conf right now. For
now, however, this will have to do.
