setting kernel env variables

[John Hay]

Hi,

I needed to be able to set the countrycode of my atheros card, but with
the arm that cannot use the loader yet, I tried to add it statically
with the env keyword in the kernel config file. Something like this:

env             "/conf/SMALL-ARM.env"

and then in that file:

hw.ath.countrycode="710"

When that didn't work, I looked through the code and found that the
arm kernel didn't use it. So I looked at how it was done on the i386
and did the same for the arm. So is this the right place to set
kern_envp or is there a better place?
