Add support for loading dm targets as separate modules. All targets except
linear can be loaded as module. Module is not loaded when there is target
with similar name already. Zero and error targets aresimple examples how
can be all future targets written to support dynamic loading. Target can't
be unloaded until there is at least one user.

Add infrastructure needed to load device-mapper targets as modules.
Targets wasn't converted yet and at least snapshot target will be converted
in a near future.

Merge the haad-dm branch to -current. This branch adds LVM functionality to
the base NetBSD system. It uses Linux LVM2 tools and our BSD licensed
device-mapper driver.

The device-mapper driver can be used to create virtual block devices which
maps virtual blocks to real with target mapping called target. Currently
these targets are available a linear, zero, error and a snapshot (this is
work in progress and doesn't work yet).

The lvm2tools adds lvm and dmsetup binary to based system, where the lvm
tool is used to manage and administer whole LVM and the dmestup is used to
communicate iwith device-mapper kernel driver. With these tools also
a libdevmapper library is instaled to the base system.

Building of tools and driver is currently disable and can be enabled with
MKLVM=yes in mk.conf. I will add sets lists and rc.d script soon.
