Previously, it used atoi(3) to parse the unit parameter, which would silently
yield a unit of 0 in the presence of an invalid unit number. As most users of
mpsutil(8) are likely to have at least a unit 0, this is could have confusing
results.
This behaviour was particularly unintuitive if one incorrectly passed an
adapter device name, or a device path, instead of a unit number. In addition
to using strtoumax(3) instead of atoi(3) to parse unit numbers, support
stripping a device name (e.g. mps1) or path (e.g. /dev/mps2) to just its unit
number.

in the sysctl block for the driver. mpsutil/mprutil needs this so it can
know how big of a buffer to allocate when requesting the IOCFacts from the
controller. This eliminates the kernel console messages about wrong
allocation sizes.

This code has been written as a proof of concept, but I think that it
can be useful in general. It allows to set the status of an enclosure
slot. Practically, this means controlling whatever slot status LEDs the
enclosure provides. At present, the new command does not have sanity
checks or any conveniences. That means that it is possible to issue the
command for an invalid slot and an enclosure. But the worst I have seen
happening is either the command failing or simply being ignored. Also,
at the moment, the status has to be specified as a numeric bit mask.
The bit definitions can be found in sys/dev/mps/mpi/mpi2_init.h, they
are prefixed with MPI2_SEP_REQ_SLOTSTATUS_. The only way to address a
slot is by the enclosure handle and the slot number. Both are readily
available from mpsutil show commands.
So, future enhancements could include alternative ways to address a slot
(e.g., by a disk handle or a disk device name) and human friendly names
for slot statuses.
The new command is useful alternative to 'sas2ircu locate' command.
First, sas2ircu is a proprietary blob. Second, it supports setting only
locate / identify status bit.

Probably due to historical reasons the driver uses In/Out arguments in
odd way. While this tool still never uses Out arguments to see that,
make the code to not trigger EINVAL in possible future uses.

Use recent best practices for Copyright form at the top of
the license:
1. Remove all the All Rights Reserved clauses on our stuff. Where we
piggybacked others, use a separate line to make things clear.
2. Use "Netflix, Inc." everywhere.
3. Use a single line for the copyright for grep friendliness.
4. Use date ranges in all places for our stuff.

This is rather pedantic, as for most architectures it holds that
sizeof(type *) == sizeof(type **)

will be implemented in the mpsutil(8) it can be copy/paste easily
