Log Message:
Implement expansion of special "magic" strings in symlinks into
system-specific values.  Submitted by Chris Demetriou in Nov 1995 (!)
in PR kern/1781, modified only slighly by me.

This is enabled on a per-mount basis with the MNT_MAGICLINKS mount
flag.  It can be enabled at mountroot() time by building the kernel
with the ROOTFS_MAGICLINKS option.

The following magic strings are supported by the implementation:

        @machine        value of MACHINE for the system
        @machine_arch   value of MACHINE_ARCH for the system
        @hostname       the system host name, as set with sethostname()
        @domainname     the system domain name, as set with setdomainname()
        @kernel_ident   the kernel config file name
        @osrelease      the releaes number of the OS
        @ostype         the name of the OS (always "NetBSD" for NetBSD)

Example usage:

        mkdir /arch/i386/bin
        mkdir /arch/sparc/bin
        ln -s /arch/@machine_arch/bin /bin
