88b5b78d59 Rewrite piece of code which I committed some time ago that allows to
show file name for 'mdconfig -l -u <x>' command.
This allows to preserve API/ABI compatibility with version 0 (that's why
I changed version number back to 0) and will allow to merge this change
to RELENG_5.

61a6eb62ec For file backed md(4) devices output their source file via
'mdconfig -l -u <unit>'.
Bump version number, as this change breaks ABI/API.

e08f2053fc Update the description of -l to reflect reality. After mdconfig.c
1.25, -l without -u only lists the names, so specifying -u does more
than just limit the output to one device.

9a777b93be If there aren't any devices to list, output nothing instead of an
empty line. This is consistent with other utilities.

While I'm here, remove artifacts of the previous list implementation.

b830359bc5 - Make md(4) 64-bit clean.
After this change it should be possible to use very big md(4) devices.
- Clean up and simplify the code a bit.
- Use humanize_number(3) to print size of md(4) devices.
- Add 't' suffix which stands for terabyte.
- Make '-S' to really work with all types of devices.
- Other minor changes.

7a6b2b6429 Fix a long-standing deadlock issue with vnode backed md(4) devices:
On vnode backed md(4) devices over a certain, currently undetermined
size relative to the buffer cache our "lemming-syncer" can provoke
a buffer starvation which puts the md thread to sleep on wdrain.

This generally tends to grind the entire system to a stop because the
event that is supposed to wake up the thread will not happen until a fair
bit of the piled up I/O requests in the system finish, and since a lot
of those are on a md(4) vnode backed device which is currently waiting
on wdrain until a fair amount of the piled up ... you get the picture.

The cure is to issue all VOP_WRITES on the vnode backing the device
with IO_SYNC.

In addition to more closely emulating a real disk device with a
non-lying write-cache, this makes the writes exempt from rate-limited
(there to avoid starving the buffer cache) and consequently prevents
the deadlock.

Unfortunately performance takes a hit.

Add "async" option to give people who know what they are doing the
old behaviour.

26a0ee75c6 Introduce a force option, MD_FORCE, that instructs the driver to
bypass some extra anti-foot-shooting measures.  Currently, its only
effect is to allow detaching a device while it's still open (e.g.,
mounted).  This is useful for testing how the system reacts to a disk
suddenly going away, which can happen with some removeable media.

At this point, the force option is only checked on detach, so it
would've been possible to allow the option to be passed with the
MDIOCDETACH operation.  This was not done to allow the possibility of
having the force flag influence other tests in the future, which may
not necessarily deal with detaching the device.
