Before r215687, if some withered geom or provider could not be destroyed,
g_event thread went to sleep for 0.1s before retrying. After that change
it is just restarting immediately. r227009 made orphaned (withered) provider
to not detach immediately, but only after context switch. That made loop
inside g_event thread infinite on UP systems without PREEMPTION.
To address original problem with possible dead lock addressed by r227009
we have to fix r215687 change first, that needs some time to think and test.
- Improved locking and destruction process to fix crashes.
- Improved "automatic" configuration method to make it consistent and safe
by reading metadata back from all specified paths after writing to one.
- Added provider size check to reduce chance of ordering conflict with
other GEOM classes.
- Added "manual" configuration method without using on-disk metadata.
- Added "add" and "remove" commands to allow manage paths manually.
- Failed paths are no longer dropped from geom, but only marked as FAIL
and excluded from I/O operations.
- Automatically restore failed paths when all others paths are marked
as failed, for example, because of device-caused (not transport) errors.
- Added "fail" and "restore" commands to manually control FAIL flag.
- geom is now destroyed on last path disconnection.
- Added optional Active/Active mode support. Unlike Active/Passive
mode, load evenly distributed between all working paths. If supported by
the device, it allows to significantly improve performance, utilizing
bandwidth of all paths. It is controlled by -A option during creation.
Disabled by default now.
- Improved `status` and `list` commands output.

- delay consumer closing and detaching on orphan() until all I/Os complete;
- prevent new I/Os submission after orphan() called.
Previous implementation could destroy consumers still having active
requests and worked only because of global workaround made on GEOM level.
instead of destroy_dev(). It moves device destruction waiting out of the
topology lock and so fixes dead lock between orphanization and closing.
Real provider and geom destruction called from swi context after device
destroyed as callback of the destroy_dev_sched_cb().
Do not close/destroy opened consumer directly in case of disconnect. Instead
keep it existing until it will be closed in regular way in response to
upstream provider destruction. Delay geom destruction in the same way.

r162200 delays provider orphanization until all running requests complete,
to workaround broken orphan() method implementation in some classes.
r215687 removes persistent periodic (10Hz) event thread wake ups.
Together these changes can indefinitely delay orphanization until some
other event wake up the event thread. One consequence of this is inability
of CAM to destroy device disconnected when busy and, as consequence, create
new one after reconnection.
While the best solution would be to revert r162200, it is not easy, as
some classes still look broken in that way. Instead conditionally wake up
event thread if there are some providers waiting for orphanization.

start only one worker thread. For software crypto it will start by default
N worker threads where N is the number of available CPUs.
This is not optimal if hardware crypto is AES-NI, which uses CPU for AES
calculations.
Change that to always start one worker thread for every available CPU.
Number of worker threads per GELI provider can be easly reduced with
kern.geom.eli.threads sysctl/tunable and even for software crypto it
should be reduced when using more providers.
While here, when number of threads exceeds number of CPUs avilable don't
reduce this number, assume the user knows what he is doing.

o Creation of a Boot Camp enabled GPT is not supported.
o Automatically disable Boot Camp when the GPT has been changed so that

Remove message about non empty bootcode, we can not break something
while GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT is defined.
But without GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT any changes in EBR are allowed and we
can accidentally wipe the boot code. To do not break anything save
the first EBR chunk and keep it untouched each time when we are
changing EBR. Note that we are still not support boot code for EBR.

Since the only parameter that we check is size of bootcode, then
allow only two sizes: size of boot1 and size of /boot/boot.
