[issue1632] Seek to end of file returns 136 on CD/DVD drives

[Alex Hornung (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

I've identified the issue. In devfs getattr vnop I'm doing:
vap->va_bytes = vap->va_size = sizeof(struct devfs_node);
and kern_lseek then does:
new_offset = offset + vattr.va_size;

I'm not quite sure how to solve this. Should the size be set to the physical 
size if the device is a disk type? This would also result in fstat to return 
the physical size for a disk.

Unless anyone considers it to always set va_size and st_size to the disk size 
for a disk-type device in the next few hours or so, I'll do it this way.

Cheers,
Alex Hornung
