We are fixing the issue described in 6276367. As part of the S10 fix we 
backport the boot-config service.

Summary of 6276367:

On Solaris systems, boot-archive inconsistencies during boot up causes the 
system to enter into sulogin mode.
System administrators have to update the boot archive and then reboot the 
system. We are trying to automate this process for an extent as part of the
fix. We use boot-config service to add a property 'trust-bios-boot-device' 
(private property) and have a check for this property during boot up to
decide on whether to trust the default grub entry of the system in case of x86.

S10 boot-config.xml:

Its usage in :
http://jurassic.eng/net/ssaesrv.eng/export/users/gm149974/scratch/auto_boot_archive_feature/webrev/usr/src/cmd/svc/milestone/fs-usr.sdiff.html

The PSARC case only had a minor binding approval. Now I am requesting for patch 
binding.

Thanks,
Gangadhar
