* Add a nooutput function to be used instead of redirecting to /dev/null,
because /dev/null might not exist early in the boot sequence. This
should fix a bug in which the pax autodetection failed when used from
init(8) with a read-only root file system without a /dev/null.
* Move most of the main program into a new makedev_main function,
to allow reuse by MAKEDEV.local.
In MAKEDEV.local:
* Use the new makedev_main function defined in MAKEDEV. This allows
MAKEDEV.local to support all the options understood by MAKEDEV, instead
of only a subset. This should fix a bug in which the setup() function
could try to use pax mode even though that was previously not supported.
In MAKEDEV.local man page:
* Update list of command line options.
* Don't explain all the options, just refer to MAKEDEV(8) man page.
* Remove BUGS section now that all MAKEDEV options are supported
by MAKEDEV.local.
Improve the documentation around that.
* The "-p pax", "-m mknod", and "-s" (mtree specfile) options should
always have been mutually exclusive. Now enforce that.
* The "-f" option didn't ever work with pax or mtree mode; document that,
and make it an error to try something that won't work.
* Make pax mode the default, if no other options prevent this, and if
"pax -w -M" appears to be usable.
* Add missing options to a usage message.

Fixes PR 37498 from dlagner at rambler.ru, using an idea from David
Laight. The while loop in the old code is executed in a subshell, so it
can't make persistent modifications to the parent shell's variables.
This change converts all the existing regression tests in regress/games
to the new framework provided by atf. As a side effect, this also moves
all the tests programs in regress/games to tests/games.
This change converts all the existing regression tests in
regress/sys/fs/tmpfs to the new framework provided by atf. As a side
effect, this also moves all the tests programs in regress/sys/fs/tmpfs to
tests/fs/tmpfs.
This change converts all the existing regression tests in regress/bin to
the new framework provided by atf. As a side effect, this also moves all
the tests programs in regress/bin to tests/util, as they all belong to
utilities installed by the base-util-root package.
This adds a new tests.tgz set to releases which includes all the tests
for the system. It is important to note that this set does not rely on
comp.tgz: a user of the system can run the tests without having the
development tools installed, which can be useful in a production machine.
This change adds the ATF manual pages that are not tied to any specific
tool nor library. It also adds some distribution documentation to the
system, as this is linked to by the manual pages (plus we have to install
the license text to comply with its terms).
This adds reachover Makefiles to build the libatf library and enables it in
the parent Makefile.
Things to review in this change:
* Add proper version numbers in the shlib_version files.
* Is libatf properly listed in lib/Makefile? It theoretically needs
libstdc++, but the resulting binary library is not linked against it.
- since no floppy drive is useful even with standard SP3 and EnCorePP1
configuration, floppy related descriptions will be removed in future.

- Introduce sme_class into the sysmon_envsys struct to specify a
class; currently there are two classes: SME_CLASS_ACADAPTER and
SME_CLASS_BATTERY.
- Add a new envsys event: PENVSYS_EVENT_LOW_POWER that is reached when
all SME_CLASS_BATTERY devices are in CRITICAL/LOW state and there's not
any SME_CLASS_ACADAPTER connected.
- Add the 'low-power' event into the sensor_battery script that will
shutdown the system gracefully via 'shutdown -p'. If powerd(8) is
not running, cpu_reboot(9) with RB_POWERDOWN is used.
- Make acpiacad(4) a SME_CLASS_ACADAPTER device and acpibat(4) a
SME_CLASS_BATTERY device.
Update the documentation accordingly to these changes.
