userland tool:
Use the vfs.devfs.generation sysctl to test for devfs presense
(thanks phk!) when devfs is active it will not try to create the
device nodes in /dev and therefore will not complain about the
failure to do so.
Revert the change in the #define for VINUM_DIR in the kernel
header so that vinum can find its device nodes.
Replace perror() with vinum_perror() to print file/line when
DEVBUG is defined (not defined by default).
kernel:
Don't use the #define names for the "superdev" creation since
they will be prepended by "/dev/" (based on VINUM_DIR), instead
use string constants.
Create both debug and non-debug "superdev" nodes in the devfs.

This command shows a minor problem: it requires that the device nodes

Add function vinum_mv, which moves subdisks to different drives. This
function just does the low-level configuration changes; the resultant
subdisk is stale if it previously had any contents, otherwise it is
empty (i.e. in need of initializing if it's RAID-5). We still need to
handle getting the contents moved over, but the current version will
suffice to migrate subdisks from a disk which has failed.
