07107de9bc Introduce the concept of "magic spaces", and implement them in most of
the relevant classes.

Some methods may implement various "magic spaces", this is reserved
or magic areas on the disk, set a side for various and sundry purposes.
A good example is the BSD disklabel and boot code on i386 which occupies
a total of four magic spaces: boot1, the disklabel, the padding behind
the disklabel and boot2.  The reason we don't simply tell people to
write the appropriate stuff on the underlying device is that (some of)
the magic spaces might be real-time modifiable.  It is for instance
possible to change a disklabel while partitions are open, provided
the open partitions do not get trampled in the process.

078c6f01f9 Make specific provisions for the kernel simulator used in the regression
tests, other userland programs may need to include <geom/geom.h>.

95c24b31df Make kernel dumps work with GEOM.
Notice that if the device on which the dump is set is destroyed for
any reason, the dump setting is lost.  This in particular will
happen in the case of spoilage.  For instance if you set dump on
ad0s1b and open ad0 for writing, ad0s* will be spoilt and the dump
setting lost.  See geom(4) for more about spoiling.

b1876192f0 Eliminate some thread pointers which do not make sense anymore.
Split private parts of geom.h into geom_int.h.  The latter should
never be included in class implemtations.

3773a65c0b Be more systematic about conversion of on-disk formats in a endian/width
agnostic way.

Collapse the MBR and MBREXT methods into one file and make them endian/width
agnostic.

dd84a43c1d First commit of the GEOM subsystem to make it easier for people to
test and play with this.

This is not yet production quality and should be run only on dedicated
test boxes.

For people who want to develop transformations for GEOM there exist a
set of shims to run geom in userland (ask phk@freebsd.org).

Reports of all kinds to: phk@freebsd.org
Please include in report:
        dmesg
        sysctl debug.geomdot
        sysctl debug.geomconf

Known significant limitations:
        no kernel dump facility.
        ioctls severely restricted.
