Return status ENXIO / ESRCH in kern_drvctl.c
While browsing the code for other stuff, I ran into what appears to be
an inconsistency in drvctl(4).
In most cases, when the device specified cannot be found, we return
ENXIO - Device not configured.
But in routine drvctl_command_get_properties(), if the device is not
found, we return ESRCH - No such process. (This is in file
sys/kern/kern_drvctl.c rev 1.32 at line 462)
It seems to me that this is incorrect, and we should return ENXIO here.
As a side note, it would be nice if we had a drvctl(4) man page. :)
