devmajor_t/devminor_t, as proposed on tech-kern.
This avoids 64-bit arithmetics and 64-bit printf formats in parts
of the kernel where it is not really useful, and helps clarity.
embedding the address of its xxx_mountroot() in swapnetbsd.c. This
permits booting of kernels with hard-wired filesystem type even if the
filesystem is in a loadable module (ie, not linked into the kernel
image).
Discussed on current-users. Tested on amd64 and i386 with both hard-
wired and '?' filesystem times, and on both modular and monolithic
kernels.
Thanks to pooka@ for code review and suggestions.
Addresses my PR kern/40167
call - which makes the code completely impossibly to follow, call fflush()
and ferror() just prior to calling fclose().
This has the advantage of actually detecting the any write errors, since
the output is block bufferred and will typically not happen during fprintf()
but only during the fclose() - where it is difficult to report.
I also singlilarly refuse to add (void) casts to every printf call in the
system - since it almost never makes any sense to look at the return value
(unless you want to know how many bytes were actually writtem).
