It has nothing to share with too huge ctl.c other then device descriptor,
but even that may be counted as design error that may be fixed later.
At some point we may even want to have several ioctl ports.
Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places..
This allows to clone VMs and move them between LUNs inside one storage
host without generating extra network traffic to the initiator and back,
and without being limited by network bandwidth.
LUNs participating in copy operation should have UNIQUE NAA or EUI IDs set.
For LUNs without these IDs VMWare will use traditional copy operations.
Beware: the above LUN IDs explicitly set to values non-unique from the VM
cluster point of view may cause data corruption if wrong LUN is addressed!

option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].
[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

and kern.cam.ctl.disable tunable; those were introduced as a workaround
to make it possible to boot GENERIC on low memory machines.
With ctl(4) being built as a module and automatically loaded by ctladm(8),
this makes CTL work out of the box.
