scan job in the calling thread).
* KDiskDeviceManager::InitialDeviceScan() now runs synchronously, so that
get_boot_partitions() doesn't need to do this ugly wait hack.
* KDiskDeviceManager::CreateFileDevice() can now run synchronously as well, which
fixes a deadlock in fs_mount() - note, mounting file devices still doesn't work,
though as Haiku's BFS doesn't allow this right now.

Right now, the size of the device is ignored in the second pass. Maybe this helps
with bug #357.

boot volume. The other (better) methods are now disabled in the boot loader.
This fixes bug #241.

some heuristic: when you booted from a CD, CDs are preferred; else, volumes with
names like "Haiku" or "System" are preferred - if someone has better ideas, please
shout.
Note, this heuristic will only come into play if the boot loader was loaded from
an image (ie. floppy/CD/network), and you didn't choose any boot device.
Added evil methods to the Stack class that come in handy (you can now directly
access the array) for this.

and into its own file vfs_boot.cpp.
Added basic support for booting from CD - it doesn't give CDs a higher priority,
so you could end up booting from HD when you didn't explicetly select "CD-ROM"
in the boot loader. Eventually, it should only boot from HD in this case, if
booting from CD failed (because of a missing boot partition or whatever).
fs_mount(), _kern_mount(), and _user_mount() will now return the dev_t of the
mounted device, and not just B_OK. Maybe we should have fs_unmount() work on
a dev_t instead of a path as well...
