Enabling the compilation on OpenBSD

[dettus]

I took the liberty of trying to compile openFPGAloader on OpenBSD.
After adding one include, ItWorkedOnMyMachine(tm).

I also added a section to the Readme.md file, allowing interested users to disable a problematic module inside the kernel.

The xvc_server.cpp looks good.
But for details: it make sense to have this in doc/guide/install.rst. Also if you disables ftdi module you will lost ability to have access to uart port. Maybe there is something like runtime unload as done for linux?

[dettus]

No, with OpenBSD, it is not a loaded Kernel module. It is hard-linked.
So, unfortunately, there is no easy way to "unload" it, sorry.
You are indeed correct about the UART, though.
(I am currently waiting for OpenBSD 7.9 to come out next week, then I will have a look into the kernel sources. Maybe I can find an easy patch there).

What I have described in the README is actually a way how to hotfix the issue.
Maybe that could be phrased better, but I do not know how.

Hello.

My apologies... I was not sure if your message meant that you need me to change something.

So, just so that I have asked this question: Do you need me to do anything before you move on with this pull request?

I would REALLY like to see your project running "out of the box" on my favorite operating system. :D

Hi,
In fact these informations must be moved in specific section of doc/guide/install.rst.
Thanks.
