o PMBR partitions count to the number of partitions on the disk, which
means that if a PMBR entry is invalid we will not treat the MBR as a
PMBR by virtue of it not describing any partitions.
Previously the checks were inconsistent in that an invalid PMBR entry
would be harmless when no other partitions exist (we would treat the
MBR as a PMBR by virtue of it being empty), but it would be fatal when
there is at least one other partition.
o The partition size of a PMBR partition is one less than the media size
because the GPT starts at the second sector (LBA 1) and extends to
the end of the media. For backward bug-compatibility we accept a size
that's exactly the media size (FreeBSD bug).
Also, when the partition size can not be represented in a 32-bit
integral, the partition size in the MBR is to be set to 0xFFFFFFFF.
Accept this as a valid size, even if the size can be represented.
we obtained access. It is possible that GPT gets to taste a disk
first, which means the disk has not been opened before and it will
not get opened until after we checked the mediasize and sectorsize.
However, since the mediasize and sectorsize are determined at open

and sectorsize before obtaining access may result in GPT rejecting
the disk.

By using a pointer to struct dos_partition, we implicitly tell the
compiler that the pointer is 4-bytes aligned, even though we know
that's not the case. The fact that we only dereference the pointer
to access a byte-wide field (field dp_ptyp) is not a guarantee that
the compiler will in fact use a byte-wide load. On some platforms
it's more efficient to use long word or quad word loads and use
bit-shifting and bit-masking to get the intended byte. On those
platforms an misaligned load will be the result.
The fix is to use byte-wide pointer arithmetic based on sizeof() and
offsetof() to avoid invalid casts which avoids that the compiler
makes invalid assumptions.

the underlying drive had been hot-unplugged from the system. Here
is a specific example. Filesystem code had opened /dev/da1s1e.
Subsequently, the drive was hot-unplugged. This (correctly) caused
all of the associated /dev/da1* entries to be deleted. When the
filesystem later realized that the drive was gone it closed the
device, reducing the write-access counts to 0 on the geom providers
for da1s1e, da1s1, and da1. This caused geom to re-taste the
providers, resulting in the devices being created again. When the
drive was hot-plugged back in, it resulted in duplicate /dev entries
for da1s1e, da1s1, and da1.
This fix adds a new disk_gone() function which is called by CAM when a
drive goes away. It orphans all of the providers associated with the
drive, setting an error condition of ENXIO in each one. In addition,
we prevent a re-taste on last close for writing if an error condition
has been set in the provider.

We have to use our own destroy_geom method, because default one, which
is a part of geom_slice is broken.

by the time that kldload(8) returns. Satisfy that by making the GEOM
module load event -- only when the kernel is !cold -- wait until the
GEOM module init function has finished instead of returning immediately.
This is the other half of fixing md(8) (actually, "mfs" in fstab(5))
that is similar to r1.128 of src/sys/dev/md/md.c. This bug would be
why RAM disks would often fail on boot and the first call to mdconfig(8)
would probably fail.
pjd has ideas for not requiring kldload(8) to work synchronously for
control devices that could make this obsolete.

This also adds support for bigger disks on the controller I have access to,
and maybe others if I understood the adhoc methods used on those.
Those with more PC98 bigdrive controllers it is hereby invited to add/fix
support for those in geom_pc98.c and not using #ifdef PC98 all over the place.
but it is possible:
1. Read data from good component for synchronization.
2. Write data to the same area.
3. Write synchronization data, which are now stale.

Actually, it can even cause some problems, because GEOM requires sectorsize
to be more than 0 on first access, not on provider creation, so we can skip
valid providers by doing this check here.

Analogous to the drive level, give each volume and plex a worker thread
that picks up and processes incoming and completed BIOs.
This should fix the data corruption issues that have come up a few
weeks ago and improve performance, especially of RAID5 plexes.
The volume level needs a little work, though.
sectorsize in order to avoid a lot of checks around various divisions etc.
Enforce the sectorsize being > 0 with a KASSERT on successful open.
Fix scsi_cd.c to return 2k sectors when no media inserted.
