relative to uname output when running in emulations: the magic links
are *not* affected even though uname output changes.
(This means @machine magic links can be used for e.g. amd64 vs. i386
device nodes. There's also an @emul magic link for emulation.)

system-specific values. Submitted by Chris Demetriou in Nov 1995 (!)
in PR kern/1781, modified only slighly by me.
This is enabled on a per-mount basis with the MNT_MAGICLINKS mount
flag. It can be enabled at mountroot() time by building the kernel
with the ROOTFS_MAGICLINKS option.
The following magic strings are supported by the implementation:
@machine value of MACHINE for the system
@machine_arch value of MACHINE_ARCH for the system
@hostname the system host name, as set with sethostname()
@domainname the system domain name, as set with setdomainname()
@kernel_ident the kernel config file name
@osrelease the releaes number of the OS
@ostype the name of the OS (always "NetBSD" for NetBSD)
Example usage:
mkdir /arch/i386/bin
mkdir /arch/sparc/bin
ln -s /arch/@machine_arch/bin /bin
