general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

Caveats:
The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.
I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).
Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.
All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.
Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.
Details:
ATA and SCSI drivers should work as the dump formatting code has been
removed. The IDA, TWE and AAC have not yet been converted.
Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set
the device as dumpdev. To implement the "off" argument, /dev/null
is used as the device.
Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented. All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles
named from the MD5 hash of the header record. The header record
is dumped in readable format in the .info file. The kernel
is not saved. Only complete dumps will be saved.
All maintainer rights for this code are disclaimed: feel free to
improve and extend.

This completes the ATA RAID support, since all functions to manipulate
the RAID are accessible from FreeBSD, the BIOS on the ATA RAID cards
are only nessesary for booting.
I decided to allow for creation of ATA RAID's on any ATA controller, but
please keep in mind the restrictions on that. Due to the BIOS not
knowing what to do you can only boot from a RAID1 or the first disk
in a SPAN, if its not located on a "real" ATA RAID controller like
the Promise or Highpoint controllers.

keep gcc-3.1+ happy:
ata-all.c:410: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement
ata-all.c:587: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement
ata-raid.c:99: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement
ata-raid.c:151: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement
by removing parentheses. The main bug is in gcc: on machines with
64-bit longs and 64-bit long longs,
(unsigned long long)rdp->total_sectors / ((1024L * 1024L) / DEV_BSIZE))
has type plain unsigned long instead of the correctly promoted type
unsigned long long, so it can not be printfed using %llu format. Even
1ULL / 1L is mispromoted. Anyway, casting the correct operand
automatically avoids the problem. We do not want to to pessimize the
division; we just want to convert to a common maximal type for printing.
Link if only ATAPI device in kernel config
Remove unused #includes
Rearrange a bit in ata-raid to make diff against -stable smaller
Enable wc as default again, dunne how this happend...
