If present a file called .settings will be sourced when
calling the arm_sdimage.sh script. This allows to configure
the build setting for arm build without the need to specify
the flags each time arm_sdimage.sh is called.
For example to configure arm_sdimage.sh to target the
beaglebone put the following content in your .settings file.
BASE_URL=http://www.minix3.org/arm/beaglebone
FLAG=-DAM335X
CONSOLE=tty00

We are planning on using the NetBSD config system to perform build
system configuration when targeting different hardware variants.
This functionality however is not integrated yet and we currently
rely on using ifdef's in the code. This commit add the DDM37XX flag.

- Added the possibility to define the number of parallel jobs from the
command line with (example, default is 1):
$ JOBS=8 ./releasetools/arm_sdimage.sh
- Generate filesystem filling the reserved partition area, instead of
being smaller.
- Added a possibility to specify additional parameter to the build.sh
script from the command line with (example):
$ BUILDVARS='-N0 -V MYVAR=yes' ./releasetools/arm_sdimage.sh

There where two reasons for needing root access while making ARM builds. The
first reason was that we needed root permissions to create device nodes and
assign permissions to files. The second reason we needed root was that we used
loop mounted files to copy the build output to the file backed storage.
The first problem is solved by building in unprivileged mode (adding -U) during
compilation. The second problem is solved by using mcopy to put files on the
fat partition and use the mkfs.mfs proto files to create MFS file system.
Future work might be to replace this script by the netbsd makefs tool.

* Use the same output directory as was previously the standard.
* Add copying of uEnv and cmdline to the obj directory to allow booting from tftp.
* No longer start qemu at the end of the process.
* Use sudo if the script was called as non root user.

To use the new SD building script, Linux has to be configured with
loop.max_part=15 on the command line (or set at module load time)
to make the loopback device see the partitions.
This commit removes a lot of differences between the ARM and x86
boot ramdisk and rc scripts. It changes the ARM build from running
from ramdisk to requiring a full filesystem on the SD image and
booting into it.
. ramdisk: remove some arm-only utilities only used for running
from the shell
. remove ARM-only rc.arm, proto.arm.small, ttys and mylogin.sh
boot-time ramdisk files
. change kernel to add "arch" variable so userland knows what
we're running on from sysenv
. make ARM use the regular ramdisk rc file, changed to distinguish
i386-only and ARM-only drivers; requires rootdevname to be set
. change /etc/rc and /usr/etc/rc to start i386-only drivers only on
i386 systems
. change the kernel/arm to have a special case for the memory
driver to load it higher so it can be bigger
. add uEnv.txt, cmdline.txt and a for now highly linux-dependent
SD preparation script arm_sdimage.sh to the git repository in
releasetools/
