jdolecek a09b055053 it's not correct to use MAXPATHNAME-sized buffer for link command, as
pointed out by Klaus Klein (original idea was that it should hold at least
the pathname ...); instead, let the ELF and a.out backends allocate memory
for the link command, and get rid of the fixed size buffer altogether

jdolecek ade4df3adc implement support for forced LKM load, which makes the kernel skip
the version checks, using new -f flag and LMFORCE ioctl

Hopefully the description in the manpage is discouraging enough so that
nobody would dare even _think_ of using forced loads. A warning
message is written to stderr when this is used, just in case.

atatat 1784bd0a07 If no other name is specified, and machdep.booted_kernel is present
and names a file, use that as a the default kernel, otherwise fall
back to /netbsd.

Makes lkms work *much* better when you're testing kernels that are not
named /netbsd.

drochner 07c471d18e Do the last fix correctly: round the beginning of the .data segment,
otherwise an unaligned address gets passed to the linker. (which is
rounded there, so this is harmless)
XXX how about passing "-N" and killing all these hacks?

jdolecek f334b7ef55 make sure that elf_mod_sizes() uses data_hole size aligned to section alignment
this fixes a problem where elf_mod_sizes() would report size which would
be different (smaller) that the actual size of LKM code to be loaded in some
cases
