CVS commit: basesrc/lib/libc/gen

Module Name:    basesrc

Modified Files:
        basesrc/lib/libc/gen: sysctl.3
        basesrc/sbin/sysctl: sysctl.8
        syssrc/sys/kern: kern_sysctl.c
        syssrc/sys/sys: sysctl.h

Log Message:
Add two sysctls: kern.labelsector and kern.labeloffset.
These are of use to userland code which previously depended on the
hard-coded values of LABELSECTOR and LABELOFFSET to figure out the
location of the disklabel for a particular platform.

With the introduction of umbrella ports such as evbarm, evbmips, etc,
the location of the disklabel may vary between kernels for the same
MACHINE. This sysctl will allow userland programs to remain independent
of the particular flavour of MACHINE in such cases.
