I decided to work on the md(4) driver and integrate the vn(4)
functionality into it mainly based on the name being more suitable.
Ideally 'vd' as in "virtual disk" would probably be the most logical
but our sound-master pointed out that this would cause uncontrollable
fits of giggles in the brits. Another complication would the needed
changes to the ramdisk boot/root functionality.
The vn driver will stay around for some time after I complete this
merge for transition reasons, and I'll make it whine to people that
they should migrate to the md(4) driver for some time before it
dies.
The kernel part of the new md(4) driver will be committed after more
testing.
parallel fsck's one per drive, use the shortest prefix ending in
a digit rather than the longest prefix ending in a digit.
This makes "/dev/ad0s1a" and "/dev/ad0s2a" appear to both reside
on the disk "/dev/ad0" and consequently they will be fsck'ed
sequentially rather than in parallel as now.
In general this heuristic is rather soft and errorprone. For
instance ccd may often reside on two or more physical disks. A
good solution would be to look for passes larger than 1 until no
disks are found in a particular pass, that way people could put
ccd stripes in pass 3... and have them fsck'ed sequentially.

this check can be disabled with the "-i" option, which in turn can
be made the default for boot-up by setting "ldconfig_insecure=YES"
in "/etc/rc.conf".

We need to parse the arguments first, then open the device (if
specified) and then apply the changes. This change will disallow the
(undocumented) use of multiple instances of the same argument on the
same command line for the sack of a better error message.
Other changes are:
1) the softupdates (-n) now issue a warning about remaining unchanged
2) the usage and man page is changed to specify "space | time" instead of
"optimization preference".

files as the new cpp does not look in the ultimate source file
(ie, the .y file)'s directory as told by the "#line" directive. Some were
misspellings of "-I${.CURDIR}" as "-I.".
