gmirror and graid3 in a way that it is not resynchronized after a
power failure or system crash.
It is safe when gjournal is running on top of gmirror/graid3.
verification of regular data when device is in complete state.
On verification error, EIO error is returned for the bio and sysctl
kern.geom.raid3.stat.parity_mismatch is increased.

as well, even if device is in complete state.
I observe 40% of speed-up with this option for random read operations,
but slowdown for sequential reads.
Basically, without this option reading from a RAID3 device built from 5
components (c0-c4) looks like this:
Request no. Used components
1 c0+c1+c2+c3
2 c0+c1+c2+c3
3 c0+c1+c2+c3
With the new feature:
Request no. Used components
1 c0+c1+c2+c3
2 (c1^c2^c3^c4)+c1+c2+c3
3 c0+(c0^c2^c3^c4)+c2+c3
4 c0+c1+(c0^c1^c3^c4)+c3
5 c0+c1+c2+(c0^c1^c2^c4)
6 c0+c1+c2+c3
