sandpoint: Teach altboot to handle 9.99.100 modules.

Not tested, but something here will be necessary to make it work, and
the same change does work in x86 efiboot.

Make this compile with -DDEBUG.

Make sure not to run kernel if fdloadfile() fails;
it returns *non-zero* value on error.

branches: 1.31.10; 1.31.12;
make this compile again

Similar to changes made for x86, allow for the boot-loader to auto-push
a list of modules for file-system support. This allows, for example,
booting from an ext2fs file-system when the kernel has no built-in ufs
or ext2fs modules.

XXX Untested, as I have no sandpoint hardware. I'd appreciate it if
XXX someone with hardware can build and test.

branches: 1.29.4;
Typos.

PR 51200 gets in libsa considered harmful: use kgets

Pass a name and flags precisely describing the current model and its
features via a new bootinfo node (currently Synology only). This allows
for example the configuration of model-specific temperature I2C sensors
and fan control.
Support for the Synology DS207 and DS209 drive LEDs and wait until the
2nd drive is completely powered up.

branches: 1.26.2; 1.26.4;
Don't use non-literal strings as format strings.
XXX Switch to strlcpy.

branches: 1.25.2;
fix sprintf.

drop trailing whitespace

sprinkle const

branches: 1.22.2;
Add a DEBUG function to search the Flash for byte-streams, as U-Boot usually
doesn't offer a search function.

branches: 1.21.2;
Remove the code that tries to load the "ffs" kernel module during boot.
This is in line with the core decision than even modular kernels should
contain the ffs code.
I've left in the code that tries to load "nfs" and "ext2fs", but it
isn't clear that is necessary.
Removes a warning message that (usually) flashes past to fast to read.
AFAICT all the relevant kernels contain ffs (and nfs for that matter).

Comment improvement. altboot(8) is now aware of the disk removal
for mirrored drive configuration.

Multiple boot devices and/or paths may be specified, which are booted one
after another until success. When no boot device is specified altboot tries
to boot from all disk devices with a valid NetBSD disklabel, starting with
unit 0.

Improved Synology CS/RS support: watch power-state of all SATA drives before
initializing them, configure drive LEDs to reflect SATA activity.
Configure drives on all ATA PCI devices, not only on the first one.

branches: 1.17.2;
Support PATA drive configuration option (ide:N[N...]).
Wait until drives are ready after cold-start.
Wake up drives from standby mode.
A default command line can be saved to flash as initrd image.

Handle devices with two network interfaces (e.g. a DSM-G600 with stge(4)
and ath(4)).

branches: 1.15.4;
Added a test terminal for communicating with the satellite microcontroller.
When compiled with DEBUG option it can be entered by typing 'C'.

branches: 1.14.4; 1.14.6;
Also scan for PCI_CLASS_RAID, when looking for disk devices.

The DSM-G600 U-Boot is so restricted that there is no possibility to pass
any bootargs. So we will just do the default multiuser boot from wd0: when
altboot was started together with a Linux initrd image.

With the new boot argument "altboot" the program can replace itself with a
new binary while running.
The default boot path was changed from nfs: to wd0:.
Bumped altboot version to 1.7.

Enter interactive mode, when a key is pressed within two seconds.

Introduced an optional shutdown function for all network interfaces.
This is needed to stop a NIF and make it return to a known state. A running
NIF may cause all sorts of bad effects, like for example making it impossible
to reboot a board without a hardware-reset function.

Suport for loading a kernel from memory (RAM, ROM or Flash).
The boot file path should look like "mem:<address>", where <address> is
the start address, in hex notation, of the file in memory.

branches: 1.8.2;
New experimental driver for SundanceIT ST1023 / IP1000+ NICs.
PHY initialization, media select and MAC address are working, but I found no
way to make the chip transmit any frame yet (although it clears the DONE flag).

Moved DSK_DECL to globals.h, where NIF_DECL already was.

branches: 1.7.2;
Build altboot.img, which fakes a Linux kernel module, loadable with "bootm",
for extremely stripped U-Boot firmware. Arguments are passed through the
"bootargs" environment variable, which is detected automatically when
using bootm.
The startup code also fixes a bug in bootm, which doesn't flush the cache
before running the image.

- some rework for PCI device enumeration.
- allow dual IDE/SATA devices.
- fix a typo of D-Link #define.

Debugging output is only visible when DEBUG is defined.

one more twist to complete newvers_stand.sh transition. Include timestamp
in banner.

bootprog_maker and bootprog_date are missing since we switched to the
MI newvers_stand.sh script. Remove the refering information line.

switch to use newvers_stand.sh as suggested by joerg@

change bootloader name to "altboot". bump version and add README.
