Hi,

Here is a patch which will allow init(8) (or rather, any process with
PID 1) to lower the securelevel to 0 when going into single-user
maintenence mode.  This has no effect if securelevel is -1.

Feedback welcome -- there may be security implications I'm not aware
of.  If this is well recieved, I will tack it onto bin/20974 for
further review and commit into -CURRENT.

-Paul.
