This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Claim the major numbers (before sombedoy else jumps in again and
claims the slots for his foocd driver :-), install all the hooks that
are required.
While i've been at this, i've cleaned up some of the routines at the
end of i386/conf.c; all the importers of the latest CDROM drivers
forgot to fill in the appropriate information. The `ata' driver
(vapourware?) does only occupy a slot in the bdevsw[] array, btw.
The actual import of the code does require a minor change in the SCSI
subsystem, and i want to have this reviewed by Peter first, so it will
be deferred for some days. The driver is already working for me
though.

put vers.o at the end of the loader line. We are simply jumping in the
moment into the first location of the text segment in 386bsd. So the
linking order is very important :-). With the addition of the const
types in newvers.sh we jumped into them. I have experimented with an
entry point specification, but was unsuccessfull. Someone else should
look at this.
