* Remove all partition awareness and device number interpretation
from the fs code.
[This is DONE but in a different manner than described below (which
is retained for future consideration). The fs_netbsd_mount
interface was changed to take a blkio, flags, and an out_fs. The
blkio is usually a blkio_subset and the pointer value is used for
the dev_t. We redefined the major() macro to return 0 and then put
"wd" as entry zero of the bdev_sw. Then all we needed to define
was wdopen, wdstrategy, etc, which call the blkio functions.]
(1) Complete com/blkio_subset.c to support representing
partitions with oskit_blkio_t's, as opposed to only
representing entire block devices.
(2) Change the fs_netbsd_mount interface to be of the
form fs_netbsd_mount(type,dev,iop,flags,out_dir),
where dev is an _opaque_ device number to use for
any stat operations on files within the filesystem,
and iop is a oskit_blkio_t* which represents the
desired partition.
(3) Update spec_vnops.c to use blkio operations rather
than invoking bdevsw operations.
