Module Name:    src

Modified Files:
        src/sbin/drvctl: Makefile drvctl.8 drvctl.c
        src/sys/kern: kern_drvctl.c
        src/sys/sys: drvctlio.h

Log Message:
- Add a new DRVCTLCOMMAND ioctl to /dev/drvctl.  This is a generic
  "execute a command" ioctl that takes a dictionary as an argument
  (specifying the command and arguments) and returns a dictionary
  with the results (error code, optional error message, optional
  result data).

- Define and implement a "get-properties" command for DRVCTLCOMMAND
  that returns the properties dictionary of the specified device.

- Add a -p flag to drvctl(8) to fetch and display the properties of
  the specified device.

This is a great example of how to use prop_dictionary_sendrecv_ioctl().
