Ultra2 users may want to set OFWCONS_POLL_HZ to a value of '20'.
I have left default value at '4' as higher values can consume a more
than is acceptable amount of CPU, and we don't have a consensus yet
what is an optimal value.

identifiers, to openfirmio.h as OFIOCMAXNAME, so programs can use it
for buffer sizes etc.
Note: Although this is only a rough upper limit to make the code more
robust and to prevent the allocation of ridiculous amounts of memory,
the current limit of one page (8191 + '\0' in openfirm_getstr()) still
appears a bit high. The maximum length of OFW property names is 31.
I didn't find a maximum length for the device identifiers in the OFW
documentation but it certainly is much smaller than 8191, too.
- Enable the OFIOCSET ioctl, i.e. move it out from under #if 0.
- Don't use openfirm_getstr() for the property value in OFIOCSET, there
are also properties whose values aren't strings and it makes sense to
use a different maximum length for property values than OFW_NAME_MAX/
OFIOCMAXNAME. The maximum accepted property value is defined in
openfirmio.h as OFIOCMAXVALUE (currently the maximum size of the value
of the nvramrc property).
- Make OFIOCSET not return EINVAL when OF_setprop() returns a different
length for the written value than it was told to write, this is normal
for the text string values of the properties in the OFW /options node.
Instead, only return EINVAL if OF_setprop() returned -1 (value could
not be written or property could not be created). Add a comment about
the specialty of the OFW /options node.
- Make OFIOCSET return the length of the written value returned by
OF_setprop(), just like OF_getprop() does. Quite useful, at least for
debugging.

Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be

Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing

Complete asserts that dev_t's passed to ttyread(), ttywrite(),

Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.

As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>

If struct disklabel is the messenger: kill the messenger.
Inside struct disk we had a struct disklabel which disk drivers used to
communicate certain metrics to the disklayer above (GEOM or the disk
mini-layer). This commit changes this communication to use four
explicit fields instead.
Amongst the benefits is that the fields do not get overwritten by
wrong or bogus on-disk disklabels.
Once that is clear, <sys/disk.h> which is included in the drivers
no longer need to pull <sys/disklabel.h> and <sys/diskslice.h> in,
the few places that needs them, have gotten explicit #includes for
them.
The disklabel inside struct disk is now only for internal use in
the disk mini-layer, so instead of embedding it, we malloc it as
we need it.
This concludes (modulus any mistakes) the series of disklabel related
commits.
I belive it all amounts to a NOP for all the rest of you :-)

the long term but it works well enough to attach to emulated disks in the
PowerPC simulator in gdb now that they have the proper device_type

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.
