that file has become verbose about it.

In the KLD "load" make target, don't load using the "absolute" path of
"./foo.ko". Use "/full/path/foo.ko" instead so that when the path is
reported as being an absolute path to the "shared library", at least
it's not really a relative path.
We don't have rogue(1), and our rogue(6) doesn't use
the `ma' attribute. (The original BSD manual stated
that this attribute is used by vi version 2 only.)

Zap 'ptrace(PT_READ_U, ...)' and 'ptrace(PT_WRITE_U, ...)' since they
are a really nasty interface that should have been killed long ago
when 'ptrace(PT_[SG]ETREGS' etc came along. The entity that they
operate on (struct user) will not be around much longer since it
is part-per-process and part-per-thread in a post-KSE world.
gdb does not actually use this except for the obscure 'info udot'
command which does a hexdump of as much of the child's 'struct user'
as it can get. It carries its own #defines so it doesn't break
compiles.

Document removal of hardware support from installkernel. Reflects:

Modified files:
release/alpha dokern.sh
Log:
Fix the install kernel on a 1.44MB floppy again.
I had to be aggressively Draconian to succeed.
I diked out:
+ Multia, NoName, PC/EB 64, Aspen Alpine support.
+ SCSI tape support
+ AMI MegaRAID controller support
+ All parallel bus support (includes PLIP)
+ vx (3c590, 3c595), pcn (AMD Am79C97x PCI 10/100), sf (Adaptec AIC-6915),
sis (SiS 900/SiS 7016), ste (Sundance ST201 (D-Link DFE-550TX)),
wb (Winbond W89C840F) support.
Introduce a force option, MD_FORCE, that instructs the driver to
bypass some extra anti-foot-shooting measures. Currently, its only
effect is to allow detaching a device while it's still open (e.g.,
mounted). This is useful for testing how the system reacts to a disk
suddenly going away, which can happen with some removeable media.
At this point, the force option is only checked on detach, so it
would've been possible to allow the option to be passed with the
MDIOCDETACH operation. This was not done to allow the possibility of
having the force flag influence other tests in the future, which may
not necessarily deal with detaching the device.
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

In preparation for MFC of sysinstall changes to edit /etc/ttys in
post-install config, reduce the potential confusion from the existence
of both configTTYs and configTtys by renaming configTTYs to
configEtcTtys. While this is not a C naming conflict, it was probably
a poor choice of names on my part.

Previously, the ELF linker would always just store the pointer to a
filename passed in via the module loader functions in the GDB
"sharedlibrary" support structures. This isn't good, since the pointer
would become stale in almost every case (not the pre-loaded case, of
course).
Change this to malloc()ed copy of the string and finally fix the reason
that gdb -k's "sharedlibrary" command stopped working.

Remove the fildesc_clone() function and its associated unnecessary code.
It didn't implement the proper /dev/fd functionality (which would be to
include in the directory listing /dev/fd/n if the process has fd n open)
anyway.
Anything needing access to /dev/fd/n where n > 2 can use the optional
fdescfs module, which implements this properly and does not cause any
trouble with devfs.
