arch-independent disks in sys/boot, libstand

[Doug Rabson]

There is an example of this in sys/boot/zfs. The approach taken is to scan
physical drives as they appear and piece them together into ZFS pools based
on the drive metadata. The pools appear as devices in the device table and
the actual ZFS filesystem reader is built on top of that.
