  Modified files:
    sys/kern             kern_linker.c 
  Log:
  Try and clean up the multiple formal loading support a bit, based on
  suggestions from Greg Lehey some time ago.  In the face of multiple
  potential file formats, try and give a more sensible error than just
  ENOEXEC.
  
  XXX a good case can be made that the loading process is wrong - the linker
  should locate the file first (using the search paths etc), then run the
  loaders to see if they recognize it.  While the present system allows for
  the possibility of different search paths for different formats, we do not
  use it and it just makes things more complicated than they need to be.
