firmware(9) is a subsystem to load binary data into the kernel via a specially crafted module. There are several handrolled sollutions to this problem in the tree already which will be replaced with this. They include iwi(4), ipw(4), ispfw(4) and digi(4).
No objection from: arch MFC after: 2 weeks X-MFC after: some drivers have been converted

These patches implement dynamic sysctls. It's possible now to add and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially overlapping trees.
Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic oids in convenient way.
Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module for typical use.
This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many people, among them: Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson, Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like to specially thank Brian Feldman for detailed review and style fixes.
