Solaris device aliases

Solaris device aliases may of course be displayed using devalias at the Open Boot PROM (ok prompt). These values are also available in userspace using prtconf -pv, listed in a section beginning with Node and ending with name: 'aliases'.

Example prtconf -pv output:

...

        keyboard: '/pci@1f,4000/ebus@1/su@14,3083f8'
        mouse: '/pci@1f,4000/ebus@1/su@14,3062f8'
        name: 'aliases'
...

I wrote a script named print_device_aliases.pl to print just device aliases from prtconf -pv output.
