Bump the version numbers of all bootloaders which use loadfile_elfXX() now
that it tries hard to avoid backwards seeks.

Bump version numbers of all bootloaders that use loadfile/ELF, to account for
my changes to symbol loading. I should probably have done this at the time,
but it's better late than never.

Add support for booting off RAIDframe RAID1 mirrors.
Check the first partition type in devopen(), and if it is of type
FS_RAID, add 64 to blkdev_part_offset.

NOTE: This brings the size of the alpha first-stage bootblocks up to
close to the maximum. RAID1 support is controlled by the
BOOTXX_RAID1_SUPPORT define, and is easy to disable if size
becomes an issue.

now that boot.c does the bootstrap name with a -D, the newvers scripts
are all the same, so eliminate the redundancy. also, use mrg's
"Version:" trick to find the version rather than using the RCS ID.
(I must have been having a ... bad day.) Also, bump boot and netboot
versions for all the changes that have been happening lately.

add support for reading gzipped kernels.

bump version

seriously clean up makefiles. use libsa/libkern/libz as appropriate,
and don't build the various sources into objs locally by specifying
them directly in the Makefiles.

Don't pass arguments to the kernel, trim unnecessary environment
calls, kill 'ask' loop (i.e. if boot fails, halt), seperate
ECOFF and a.out support into seperate options.

update to include <sys/exec_ecoff.h>, rather than the alpha-specific
(and redundant) coff.h file (which has now been removed).

Support for AXPpci CPUs,
Support for AlphaStation 600 CPUs,

wholesale update from my NetBSD/Alpha source tree. Includes:
Support for AXPpci CPUs,
Support for AlphaStation 600 CPUs,
new boot block structure, which requires an 'installboot'
program and works a lot like the NetBSD/sparc boot blocks.

make boot blocks work on AlphaStation systems

RCS ids, some missing copyrights.

preliminary Alpha support. note that NOT ALL OF THE MODIFICATIONS TO
THE REST OF THE KERNEL ARE IN THE TREE YET. Also, some of this is
_incredibly_ hack-ish, etc., but it works.
