Correctly handle additional disks without BIOS partition tables.
Previously, vinum_scandisk stopped scanning additional disks for
native partitions after any good partition was found. This applies
to all platforms, but was a particular problem on systems without
BIOS partition tables.

vinum_scandisk: Don't handle NULL device pointers.
Only look at compatibility partition for i386. This
is a kludge which should go away once I have adequate
documentation for the New World Order.
Together, these fixes remove occasional error messages about
non-existent drives. They may also fix a number of problems that have
been reported without a PR.

Finally implement read policies. The previous "implementation" didn't
work because it referred to plexes which were almost invariably when
referred to. Instead, deprecate the "prefer" keyword for volumes
(though it's still there for the moment) and add a keyword "preferred"
to the plex definition. The relationship is like this:
Old:
vol foo ... prefer foo.p3
New:
plex foo.p3 volume foo preferred
print_config: Print "preferred" where appropriate.
No longer print "prefer" on volume config entries.
just return it. Don't try to reinitialize it. This should fix a
number of inconsistencies that some people encountered with "vinum
start".

similar patch has been in 4.x for a while, but is more hacky there.)
For this to work, vinum has to be loaded early (e. g. from
boot/loader), for obvious reasons. If the kernel env variable
(aka. loader variable) "vinum.autostart" is set, vinum then asks the
sysctl kern.disks for all available disks in the system, and scans
them for possible vinum headers.
For statically compiled kernels, this behaviour can be obtained even
without boot/loader by using "options VINUM_AUTOSTART" (though this is
not the recommended way).
Alternatively, the 4.x way to specify "vinum.drives" is also supported.
No further hacks (like the 4.x "vinum.root" variable) are needed,
since in 5.x, mountroot() asks back at the drivers to have them
resolve the name of the root FS into a dev_t (using the dev_clone
eventhandler).
(The MFC reminder below is for a partial MFC for vinum.autostart, the
rest is already there in 4.x.)

(1) Use namei() and devfs to discover devices rather than a hard-coded
MAKEDEV implementation. Once rootfs is in place, this will allow
Vinum to be used for the root file system partition.
(2) Pass FREAD to device opens so that GEOM will return sector size
rather than an error on attempts to read label data.
(3) Avoid clobbering return values from close_drive() and masking this
failure, resulting in a later divide by zero due to not having
updated the Vinum-cached sector size.
(4) Ignore failures from DIOCWLABEL as that appears not to be required
in the GEOM environment.
We've done testing in simple Vinum environments, but those with more
complex environments might want to give this a spin in DP2 and make
sure everything is up to speed.

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

exactly one bit set.
B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.
Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.
Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.
This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.
