(If there is a legitimate need to correctly encode and pack a
disklabel with an invalid checksum custom tools can be built for
that.)
Make bsd_disklabel_le_dec() validate the magics, number of partitions
(against a new parameter) and the checksum.
Vastly simplify the logic of the GEOM::BSD class implementation:
Let g_bsd_modify() always take a byte-stream label.
This simplifies all users, except the ioctl's which now have to
convert to a byte-stream first. Their loss.
g_bsd_modify() is called with topology held now, and it returns
with it held.
Always update the md5sum in g_bsd_modify(), otherwise the check
is no use after the first modification of the label. Make the
MD5 over the bytestream version of the label.
Move the rawoffset hack to g_bsd_modify() and remove all the
inram/ondisk conversions.
Don't configure hotspots in g_bsd_modify(), do it in taste instead,
we do not support moving the label to a different location on the
fly anyway.
This passes all current regression tests.
Rename bioqdisksort() to bioq_disksort().
Keep a #define around to avoid changing all diskdrivers right now.
Move it from subr_disklabel.c to subr_disk.c.
Move prototype from <sys/disklabel.h> to <sys/bio.h>

Rename diskerr() to disk_err() for naming consistency.
Drop the by now entirely useless struct disklabel argument.
Add a flag argument for new-line termination.
Fix a couple of printf-format-casts to %j instead of %l.
Correctly print the name of all bio commands.
Move the function from subr_disklabel.c to subr_disk.c,
and from <sys/disklabel.h> to <sys/disk.h>.
Use the new disk_err() throughout, #include <sys/disk.h> as needed.
Bump __FreeBSD_version for the sake of the aac disk drivers #ifdefs.
Remove unused disklabel members of softc for aac, amr and mlx, which seem
to originally have been intended for diskerr() use, but which only rotted
and got Copy&Pasted at least two times to many.

3.The only thing worse than generalizing from one example
is generalizing from no examples at all.
Remove the fwcylinders attribute before anybody gets the idea that we
alone have squared the circle.

This shrinks the size 4 bytes on alpha, down to the same 276 bytes
as all other platforms.
Construct a hack to make old ioctls work on new kernels.
Once world is recompiled only the new and correct sysctls will be
used.
This hack will become annoying around 1st of may to make people
rebuild their worlds and it will be gone before 5.0.
Caveats:
The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.
I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).
Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.
All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.
Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.
Details:
ATA and SCSI drivers should work as the dump formatting code has been
removed. The IDA, TWE and AAC have not yet been converted.
Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set
the device as dumpdev. To implement the "off" argument, /dev/null
is used as the device.
Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented. All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles
named from the MD5 hash of the header record. The header record
is dumped in readable format in the .info file. The kernel
is not saved. Only complete dumps will be saved.

improve and extend.

not removing tabs before "__P((", and not outdenting continuation lines
to preserve non-KNF lining up of code with parentheses. Switch to KNF
formatting and/or rewrap the whole prototype in some cases.
