geom_flashmap depends on a slicer being available in order to do any
work. On fdt platforms this is provided by fdt_slicer, but this needs
to be available. Often it's compiled into the kernel for platforms that
boot from the relevant media, but this is not always the case. Add the
file to the geom_flashmap module so that it can be used on platforms
which don't always need this functionality available.
with geom_flashmap(4) and teach it about MMC for slicing enhanced
user data area partitions. The FDT slicer still is the default for
CFI, NAND and SPI flash on FDT-enabled platforms.
- In addition to a device_t, also pass the name of the GEOM provider
in question to the slicers as a single device may provide more than
provider.
- Build a geom_flashmap.ko.
- Use MODULE_VERSION() so other modules can depend on geom_flashmap(4).
- Remove redundant/superfluous GEOM routines that either do nothing
or provide/just call default GEOM (slice) functionality.
- Trim/adjust includes
