current testing purpose is to create a file system with
block size > MAXPHYS.
(the check doesn't make that much sense anyway in these days of
mobile file systems, since we're interested in MAXPHYS where we
attempt to mount the file system, not where we happen to create it)
This is useful for automated environments where everything (rpcbind,
mountd, nfsd and the client) is started in parallel in a split
second and there is a small chance we will race in there before
everything has been communicated to rpcbind.
we're ELF now, and there are many missing checks against OBJECT_FMT.
if we ever consider switching, the we can figure out what new ones
we need but for now it's just clutter.
this doesn't remove any of the support for exec_aout or any actually
required-for-boot a.out support, only the ability to build a netbsd
release in a.out format. ie, most of this code has been dead for
over a decade.
i've tested builds on vax, amd64, i386, mac68k, macppc, sparc, atari,
amiga, shark, cats, dreamcast, landisk, mmeye and x68k. this covers
the 5 MACHINE_ARCH's affected, and all the other arch code touched.
it also includes some actual run-time testing of sparc, i386 and
shark, and i performed binary comparison upon amiga and x68k as well.
some minor details relevant:
- move shlib.[ch] from ld.aout_so into ldconfig proper, and cut them
down to only the parts ldconfig needs
- remove various unused source files
- switch amiga bootblocks to using elf2bb.h instead of aout2bb.h
tells whether it should detect and convert to binary a hexadecimal octet
string of the form 0x0123ABab, or leave those strings undecoded.
If the argument for a 'media', 'mediamode', 'mediaopt', '-mediaopt',
'nwkey', or 'bssid' keyword is a hexadecimal octet string, do not detect
and decode it. (Note that setifnwkey decodes hexadecimal strings on its
own.)
This fixes a bug noticed by Jim Miller where the trailing zero-octets
were discarded from hexadecimal octet-string arguments for 'nwkey'.

While here modify snap_open() to accept a character device as its
first arg and remove now unneeded get_snap_device().
