viocon(4): New virtio tty driver imported from OpenBSD.

viocon* at virtio?

/dev/ttyVI??

Tested under qemu with:

qemu-system-aarch64 ... \
-device virtio-serial \
-chardev socket,path=/tmp/ttyVI00,server=on,wait=off,id=ttyVI00 \
-device virtconsole,chardev=ttyVI00,name=org.NetBSD.dev.ttyVI00 \
...

I updated MAKEDEV.conf to create /dev/ttyVI?? on all ports where it
looks likely to work based on:
(a) having pci or a non-pci virtio attachment,
(b) `qemu-system-$ARCH -M ?' mentioned something resembling the port,
and
(c) `qemu-system-$ARCH -device virtio-serial' launched without
complaining about the virtio-serial device.

(Criterion (c) excluded sparc and sparc64.)

remove nsmb from MD list of devices to create for 'all'

Remove the satlink driver. It was disabled everywhere, had no man page and
no use either. Spotted by thorpej in PR/21345, ok christos.

Remove ISDN from the kernel. It has remained unmaintained for a long time,
is of poor quality, and is now an obstacle to MP-ification. It was removed
ten years ago from FreeBSD for the same reason.

This retires a big user of the mbuf API, and will ease maintenance of the
kernel.

Add raid disk nodes for the install images

Create a bpf(4) device node on ramdisk for DHCP client.

Add sysmon (required for the envsys framework).

branches: 1.8.2; 1.8.8;
Change foo*) case patterns to foo[0-9]*) in MD MAKEDEV.conf files,
as was done earlier today for the MI MAKEDEV.tmpl. There are
also a few instances of slightly different changes in the
case patterns.

Fix MAKEDEV on shark: Move ses(4) devices from MI code (MAKEDEV.tmpl) to
those platforms that actually have the driver.

Add a few logical disks (ld[0-3]) to the minimal configuration so installation
can be done to Mylex DAC960 raid drives.

branches: 1.5.2;
Rework MAKEDEV:

* Use "mknod -F netbsd -r" to create nodes, instead of
"rm ; mknod; chmod; chown".
This means permissions & ownership of existing nodes will
not be changed.
This is up to 30% faster when populating an empty /dev,
and nearly 2x faster when re-running on an existing /dev.

* New options:
-f force change of permission & ownership of existing
devices
-m mknod override name/path of mknod program
(which defaults to $TOOL_MKNOD, then "mknod").
-s generate mtree(8) specfile instead of creating devices

* Remove /usr/etc from $PATH; not needed anymore.

* Provide functions to create devices & directories:
mkdev name [b|c] major minor [mode{=600} [gid{=0} [uid{=0}]]]
create device node `name' with the appropriate permissions
lndev src target
create a symlink from src to target
makedir dir mode
create directory with appropriate mode

* UIDs and GIDs are hardcoded in at MAKEDEV generation time.
(Unfortunately there's not a simple way of determining a GID
a la "id -n user" for determining a UID).

This was tested by generating MAKEDEV for each MACHINE,MACHINE_ARCH
combination and comparing the results of "MAKEDEV all" from the
previous version to the new one.
(This testing actually highlighted mistakes in the previous configuration!)
