This is especially useful for things like installers, where regular
geli prompt can't be used.
- Add support for specifing multiple -K or -k options, so there is no
need to cat all keyfiles and read them from standard input.

This option doesn't passed to kernel and handled in user-space.
With -F option gpart creates new "delete" request for each
partition in table. Each request has flags="X" that disables
auto-commit feature. Last request is the original "destroy" request.
It has own flags and can have disabled or enabled auto-commit feature.
If error is occurred when deleting partitions, then new "undo" request
is created and all changes will be rolled back.

to growing the filesystem.
Refuse to attach providers where the metadata provider size is
wrong. This makes post-boot attaches behave consistently with
pre-boot attaches. Also refuse to restore metadata to a provider
of the wrong size without the new -f switch. The new -f switch
forces the metadata restoration despite the provider size, and
updates the provider size in the restored metadata to the correct
value.

allow the option to be specified multiple times. This will help to
implement things like passing multiple keyfiles to geli(8) instead of
cat(1)ing them all into stdin and reading from there using one '-k -'
option.

Move code that converts params from humanized numbers to sectors count
to subr.c and adjust comment.
Add post-processing for "size" and "start offset" params in gpart,
now they are properly converted to sectors count with known sector size
that can be greater that 512 bytes.
Also replace "unsigned long long" type to "off_t" for unify code since
it used for medium size in libgeom(3) and DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl.

- Add special handling required for SMI/VTOC8 disklabel partcode, i.e. avoid
overwriting the label when writing the bootstrap code to the partition

in presence of competing random access patterns.
This is joint work with Fabio Checconi, developed last year
and presented at BSDCan 2009. You can find details in the
README file or at

to support various storage boxes which really aren't active-active.
We only write the label on the *first* provider. For all other providers
we just "add" the disk. This also allows for an "add" verb.
A usage implication is that you should specificy the currently active
storage path as the first provider.
Note that this does not add RDAC-like functionality, but better allows for
autovolumefailover configurations (additional checkins elsewhere will support
this).
