ea3d97ae67 For now, bring back some of the old bits as a fix for specifying md(4)
device number at creation time with -u option. Together with XMLizing
mdconfig(8), I broke this functionality.

This change is temporary. Complete fix will be commited soon.

c27a895433 Teach md(4) and mdconfig(8) how to understand XML. Right now there won't be
a problem with listing large number of md(4) devices. Either 'list' or
'query' mode uses XML.

Additionally, new functionality was introduced. It's possible to pass
multiple devices to -u:

	# ./mdconfig -l -u md0,md1

7e06d7bcbc Sort the list results by the unit number. The list returned by the
kernel is in the order the devices were made, which is not useful to
the user. Also, remove the "%d more" test since the kernel does not
return the complete count in md_pad[0] (maybe it should?).

c313f09bfb When using files as backing stores for devices, and the user has requested the
device be created read+write, check to see if the backing store is read only
through the use of the access(2) system call. If this check fails returning
EACCES, EPERM or EROFS then gracefully downgrade the access to read only. Also
print a warning message to stderr, informing the user that the access mode
they requested is not available.

This behavior used to be handled by md(4) but was changed in revision 1.154

7a6b2b6429 Fix a long-standing deadlock issue with vnode backed md(4) devices:
On vnode backed md(4) devices over a certain, currently undetermined
size relative to the buffer cache our "lemming-syncer" can provoke
a buffer starvation which puts the md thread to sleep on wdrain.

This generally tends to grind the entire system to a stop because the
event that is supposed to wake up the thread will not happen until a fair
bit of the piled up I/O requests in the system finish, and since a lot
of those are on a md(4) vnode backed device which is currently waiting
on wdrain until a fair amount of the piled up ... you get the picture.

The cure is to issue all VOP_WRITES on the vnode backing the device
with IO_SYNC.

In addition to more closely emulating a real disk device with a
non-lying write-cache, this makes the writes exempt from rate-limited
(there to avoid starving the buffer cache) and consequently prevents
the deadlock.

Unfortunately performance takes a hit.

Add "async" option to give people who know what they are doing the
old behaviour.
