09cc9ab63d Implement 3 new functions:
- g_lcm() - calculates Least Common Multiple of two given values,
		it is helpful when we need to find sector size for provider
		which is based on disks with different sector size;
	- g_get_mediasize() - returns media size of given provider;
	- g_get_sectorsize() - returns sector size of given provider;
Those function aren't used now, but are used by geom_mirror which will be
committed soon.

05c9107607 Bring in geom(8) utility. It is an universal utility for operating on
GEOM classes. It works by loading a shared library via dlopen(3) mechanism
with class-specific code, it is also responsible for communicating with
GEOM via libgeom(3).
Per-class shared libraries are going to be stored in /lib/geom/ directory.
It provides also few standard commands like 'list', 'load' and 'unload'
for existing classes which aren't aware of geom(8).
More info will be send on freebsd-current@ mailing list.
