6d9ea4cf59 New device attachment scheme:
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
	  a new struct cfattach.

	- new "attach" directive for files.*.  May specify the name of
	  the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
	  to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.

5b39541e48 New generic disk framework. Highlights:
- New metrics handling.  Metrics are now kept in the new
	  `struct disk'.  Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
	  transfer count in bytes.

	- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
	  the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.

	- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
	  handling metrics calculation.

Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.

For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
