size of a delete request sent to the providing device performed by g_dev_ioctl.
This allows the kernel and apps via ioctl e.g. newfs -E to request large LBA
deletes which siginificantly improves performance.
Previously this was hard coded to 65536 sectors, the new default is 262144
which doubles the throughput of deletes on commonly available SSD's.
In tests on a Intel 520 120GB FW: 400i disk it improved the delete throughput
from 1.6GB/s to over 2.6GB/s on a full disk delete such as that done via
newfs -E
For some SSD's where delete time is pretty much constant, no matter what
the request, setting this to 0 will provide significantly better throughput
e.g. Samsung 840 240GB FW DXT07B0Q @ 262144 = 79G/s, @ 0 = 2259G/s

In physio, check if device can handle unmapped IO and pass an
appropriately mapped buffer to the driver strategy routine. The
only driver in the tree that can handle unmapped buffers is one
exposed by GEOM, so mark it as such with the new flag in the
driver cdevsw structure.
This fixes insta-panics on hosts, running dconschat, as /dev/fwmem
is an example of the driver that makes use of physio routine, but
bypasses the g_down thread, where the buffer gets mapped normally.

Use destroy_dev_sched_cb() to not wait for device destruction while holding
GEOM topology lock (that actually caused deadlock). Use request counting
protected by mutex to properly wait for outstanding requests completion in
cases of device closing and geom destruction. Unlike r227009, this code
does not block taskqueue thread for indefinite time, waiting for completion.
It includes three parts:
1) Modifications to CAM to detect media media changes and report them to
disk(9) layer. For modern SATA (and potentially UAS) devices it utilizes
Asynchronous Notification mechanism to receive events from hardware.
Active polling with TEST UNIT READY commands with 3 seconds period is used
for incapable hardware. After that both CD and DA drivers work the same way,
detecting two conditions: "NOT READY: Medium not present" after medium was
detected previously, and "UNIT ATTENTION: Not ready to ready change, medium
may have changed". First one reported to disk(9) as media removal, second
as media insert/change. To reliably receive second event new
AC_UNIT_ATTENTION async added to make UAs broadcasted to all periphs by
generic error handling code in cam_periph_error().
2) Modifications to GEOM core to handle media remove and change events.
Media removal handled by spoiling all consumers attached to the provider.
Media change event also schedules provider retaste after spoiling to probe
new media. New flag G_CF_ORPHAN was added to consumers to reflect that
consumer is in process of destruction. It allows retaste to create new
geom instance of the same class, while previous one is still dying.
3) Modifications to some GEOM classes: DEV -- to report media change
events to devd; VFS -- to handle spoiling same as orphan to prevent
accessing replaced media. PART class already handles spoiling alike to
orphan.

- For CompactFlash use CFA ERASE command, same as ad(4) does.
With this patch, `newfs -E /dev/ada1` was able to restore write speed of
my heavily weared OCZ Vertex SSD (firmware 1.4) up to the initial level
for the most part of it's capacity. Previous 1.3 firmware, even reportiong

I have no idea whether it is normal, but for some reason it takes 200ms
to handle any TRIM command on this drive, that was making delete extremely
slow. But TRIM command is able to accept long list of LBAs and the length of
that list seems doesn't affect it's execution time. Implemented request
clusting algorithm allowed me to rise delete rate up to reasonable numbers,
when many parallel DELETE requests running.

1. Extend geom_dev by having it create the symlink (i.e. call
make_dev_alias) based on the DIOCGPROVIDERALIAS ioctl.
In this way the functionaility is generic and thus usable
by any geom/provider.
2. Have g_part handle said ioctl through the devalias method,
so that it's under control of the scheme itself. By design
the alias will not be created for newly added partitions.
Now that make_dev() doesn't require unit numbers to be unique, there is
no need to use an unrhdr here to generate the numbers. Remove the entire
init-routine, because it is optional.
When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

Even though we got rid of device major numbers some time ago, device
drivers still need to provide unique device minor numbers to make_dev().
These numbers are only used inside the kernel. They are not related to
device major and minor numbers which are visible in devfs. These are
actually based on the inode number of the device.
It would eventually be nice to remove minor numbers entirely, but we
don't want to be too agressive here.
Because the 8-15 bits of the device number field (si_drv0) are still
reserved for the major number, there is no 1:1 mapping of the device
minor and unit numbers. Because this is now unused, remove the
restrictions on these numbers.
The MAXMAJOR definition was actually used for two purposes. It was used
to convert both the userspace and kernelspace device numbers to their
major/minor pair, which is why it is now named UMINORMASK.
minor2unit() and unit2minor() have now become useless. Both minor() and
dev2unit() now serve the same purpose. We should eventually remove some
of them, at least turning them into macro's. If devfs would become
completely minor number unaware, we could consider using si_drv0 directly,
just like si_drv1 and si_drv2.

or any other bio chopping geom a reasonable size of work.
Check for delivered signals between chunks, because the request size

DIOCGFLUSH - Flush write cache (sends BIO_FLUSH).
DIOCGDELETE - Delete data (mark as unused) (sends BIO_DELETE).
DIOCGIDENT - Get provider's uniqe and fixed identifier (asks for
GEOM::ident attribute).
First two are self-explanatory, but the last one might not be. Here are
properties of provider's ident:
- ident value is preserved between reboots,
- provider can be detached/attached and ident is preserved,
- provider's name can change - ident can't,
- ident value should not be based on on-disk metadata; in other words
copying whole data from one disk to another should not yield the same
ident for the other disk,
- there could be more than one provider with the same ident, but only if
they point at exactly the same physical storage, this is the case for
multipathing for example,
- GEOM classes that consumes single providers and provide single providers,
like geli, gbde, should just attach class name to the ident of the
underlying provider,
- ident is an ASCII string (is printable),
- ident is optional and applications can't relay on its presence.
The main purpose for this is that application and remember provider's ident
and once it tries to open provider by its name again, it may compare idents
to be sure this is the right provider. If it is not (idents don't match),
then it can open provider by its ident.
