vkernel - Print mmap() failures in megabytes

* Print mmap() failures for vkd* drives in megabytes instead
of bytes.

vkernel - Add COW image capability

* Add a copy-on-write disk image feature. This allows a vkernel
to mount a disk image RO or R+W but does not try to write changes
back to the image file.

vkernel - Add COW image capability

* Add a copy-on-write disk image feature. This allows a vkernel
to mount a disk image RO or R+W but does not try to write changes
back to the image file.

This allows multiple vkernel instances to use the same image
file.

* Note that when the vkernel operates on an image in this mode,
modifications will eat up system memory and swap, so the user
should be cognizant of the use-case. Still, the flexiblity of
being able to mount the image R+W should not be underestimated.

vkd(4) - Announce virtual disks upon initialization.


# 2a4f37b8 22-Feb-2013 Antonio Huete Jimenez <tuxillo@quantumachine.net>

vkernel - Settable serial numbers for virtual disks.

User can specify now serial numbers for their virtual disks
from the command line.

Example:
./vkernel -m 128m -r root.img:VKDMYSERNO

vkernel: cap vdisk max. io size to MAXPHYS


# 9ed84223 17-Mar-2012 Sascha Wildner <saw@online.de>

vkernel: Move things from dev/virtual to dev/virtual/vkernel.

This is so we can later put any other "virtual" device drivers in their
own subdirectories in dev/virtual.
