"arg0 'provider': Invalid argument" after creating new partition
table.
Move code for search of existing geom into g_part_find_geom
function and use this function instead of g_part_parm_geom
in g_part_ctl_create.

This was needed for recover implementation.
Implement the recover command for GPT. Now GPT will marked as
corrupt when any of three types of corruption will be detected:
1. Damaged primary GPT header or table
2. Damaged secondary GPT header or table
3. Secondary header is not located in the last LBA
Marked GPT becomes read-only. Any changes with corrupt table
are prohibited. Only "destroy" and "recover" commands are allowed.

Note there is still no information about 'partcode' being written to disk

Maybe in the future all the messages printed by gpart(8) on success could be

While here, initialize the last usable sector for the placeholder geom

zero stripeoffset in such case (as if device has no stripes), report offset
from the beginning of the media (as if device has single infinite stripe).
This gives partitioning tools information, required to guess better
partition alignment, in case if hardware doesn't report it's stripe size.
For example, it should give disklabel info about odd offset made by fdisk.
depend on on-disk metadata. This was we won't attach to providers that are used
by other classes. For example we don't want to configure partitions on da0 if
it is part of gmirror, what we really want is partitions on mirror/foo.
During regular work it works like this: if provider is open for writing a class
receives the spoiled event from GEOM and detaches, once provider is closed the
taste event is send again and class can rediscover its metadata if it is still
there. This doesn't work that way when new class arrives, because GEOM gives
all existing providers for it to taste, also those open for writing. Classes
have to decided on their own if they want to deal with such providers (eg.
geom_dev) or not (classes modified by this commit).

is invalid because the ioctl happens without prior open. The ioctl
got introduced to provide backward compatibility for extended
partitions, but it ended up not being used because it didn't work
as expected. Since there are no consumers of the ioctl and the
implementation is broken, the best fix is to remove the code
entirely.

"raw" names. While there, change the formatting of extended MSDOS partitions
so that the dot (".") is not used to separate two numbers (which kind of
looks like the whole is a decimal number). Use "+" instead, which also
hints that the second part of the name is the offset from the start of
the partition in the first part of the name. Also change the offset from
decimal to hexadecimal notation, simply for aesthetic reasons and future
compatibility.
GEOM_PART is the default in 8-CURRENT but not yet in 7-STABLE so this
changeset can be MFC-ed without causing major problems from the second

1. Extend geom_dev by having it create the symlink (i.e. call
make_dev_alias) based on the DIOCGPROVIDERALIAS ioctl.
In this way the functionaility is generic and thus usable

2. Have g_part handle said ioctl through the devalias method,
so that it's under control of the scheme itself. By design
the alias will not be created for newly added partitions.
method allows schemes to reject the ctl request, pre-check
the parameters and/or modify/set parameters. There are 2
use cases that triggered the addition:
1. When implementing a R/O scheme, deletes will still
happen to the in-memory representation. The scheme is
not involved in that operation. The pre-check method
can be used to fail the delete up-front. Without this
the write to disk will typically fail, but at that
time the delete already happened.
2. The EBR scheme uses a linked list to record slices.
There's no index. The EBR scheme defines the index
as a function of the start LBA of the partition. The
add verb picks an index for the range and then invokes
the add method of the scheme to fill in the blanks. It
is too late for the add method to change the index.
The pre-check is used to set the index up-front. This
also (silently) overrides/nullifies any (pointless)
user-specified index value.
underlying partitioning scheme.
o Put the start and end of the partition in the XML configuration.
The start and end are the LBAs of the first and last sector
(resp.) of the partition. They are currently identical to the
offset and size attributes, which describe the partition as an
offset and size in bytes, but may not in the future. The start
and end will be used for the logical partition boundaries and
may include metadata. The offset and size will always represent
the useful storage space within the partition. Typically these
two notions are the same, but for logical partitions in an
extended partition, the EBR is more naturally treated as being
part of the partition.
