whitespace and update a comment.

Peter Wemm 4f033348f4 Finish fixing hints. Remember the use_kenv state for the next run.
Otherwise we fall back to using the static hints the next time around.
We still have the leftover fallback code there which meant that we skipped
the use_hints checking on the second and subsequent calls.  Also, be a bit
more careful about walking off the end of the envp array.

I've extracted this from a larger diff.  I hope I didn't miss anything...

Maxime Henrion d786139c76 Rework the kernel environment subsystem. We now convert the static
environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up.  The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.

This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv().  freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.

The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).

Peter Wemm 9516fbd6d9 Go back to having either static OR dynamic hints, with fallback
support.  Trying to fix the merged set where dynamic overrode
static was getting more and more complicated by the day.

This should fix the duplicate atkbd, psm, fd* etc in GENERIC.  (which
paniced the alpha, but not the i386)

Peter Wemm 2398f0cd1d Hints overhaul:
- Replace some very poorly thought out API hacks that should have been
  fixed a long while ago.
- Provide some much more flexible search functions (resource_find_*())
- Use strings for storage instead of an outgrowth of the rather
  inconvenient temporary ioconf table from config().  We already had a
  fallback to using strings before malloc/vm was running anyway.
