netbsd-7 kernel and older vnconfig(8)

[Emmanuel Dreyfus <manu%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Hello

We have a backward compatibility problem with vnconfig(8). If I use
netbsd-6 vnconfig with netbsd-7 kernel, vnconfig -l loops forever
because src/usr.sbin/vnconfig/vnconfig.c lacks this change:

revision 1.41
date: 2013-06-09 15:25:40 +0200;  author: christos;  state: Exp;  
   lines: +76 -56;  commitid: 0DfyvNbGKtoEuWSw;
branches:  1.41.4;
Now that we grow vnd's dynamically we cannot depend on the kernel returning
ENXIO when we exceed the number of configured vnds, so in the -l case, print
info for all vnds we can find device nodes for in /dev.

I am not sure how it could be fixed.
