peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.
This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.
This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.
The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.
Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.
Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and
for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did
object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the
priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted
here.

There is only cdevsw (which should be renamed in a later edit to deventry
or something). cdevsw contains the union of what were in both bdevsw an
cdevsw entries. The bdevsw[] table stiff exists and is a second pointer
to the cdevsw entry of the device. it's major is in d_bmaj rather than
d_maj. some cleanup still to happen (e.g. dsopen now gets two pointers
to the same cdevsw struct instead of one to a bdevsw and one to a cdevsw).
rawread()/rawwrite() went away as part of this though it's not strictly
the same patch, just that it involves all the same lines in the drivers.
cdroms no longer have write() entries (they did have rawwrite (?)).
tapes no longer have support for bdev operations.

FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

and another 56 bytes moves from data to bss.
No functional change intended nor expected.

When initiating a write, ccdbuffer() returns two "struct ccdbuf *"s
linked together by the cb_mirror field. "cb_pflags &
CCDPF_MIRROR_DONE" is set to 0 on both of them.
When a component returns to ccdiodone(), it checks if "cb_pflags &
CCDPF_MIRROR_DONE" is set or not. If not, it sets the partner's
flag and returns. If it is, it means its partner has already
returned, so it will go to the regular cleanup (which is in the
fallthrough code).
There should be no performance or functionality changes unless the
higher-level scsi driver does something with the resid value. The change
is purely aesthetical and prepares us for the parity implementation.

(1) The reads are always done from the first n/2 disks.
(2) Each write is done twice, to the "data" disk (in the first half) and
the "mirror" disk (in the second half).
ccdbuffer() now takes an extra argument (struct ccdbuf **) and stores
the pointer to ccdbuf in there. In case of a mirrored write, it
allocates and stores two pointers. The "residual" is also doubled
for mirrored writes so that ccdiodone() can correctly tell when all
the writes are done.
