to preserve currect behaviour). When set to 0, components are not
disconnected - graid3 will try to still use them (only first error will
be logged). This is helpful when we have two broken components, but in
different places, so actually all data is available.
Such buggy component will be visible in 'graid3 list' output with flag
BROKEN.
- Never disconnect the last valid component. If we detect errors there we
will just pass them up. This wasn't reasonable to deny access to the
whole provider because of one broken sector.

o The only indication of error condition is NULL value returned by

o value pointed to by error argument is undefined in the case when
operation completes successfully.

- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.
Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.

I was sure graid3 should handle such situations well, but green@ reported
it is not and we want to fix it before 6.0.

Actually, one cannot setup root file system on RAID3 device, but when
other file system exist in /etc/fstab which are placed on RAID3 device,
boot process will be interrupted when these devices are missing.

shared-last-sector problem.
After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
(then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
isn't important at all.

anymore, because we keep consumers open for writing all the time.

After this change, when component is disconnected because of an I/O error,
it will not be connected and synchronized automatically, it will be logged
as broken and skipped. Autosynchronization can occur, when component is
disconnected (on orphan event) and connected again - there were no I/O
error, so there is no need to not connected the component, but when there were
writes while it wasn't connected, it will be synchronized.
This fix cases, when component is disconnected because of I/O error and can be
connected again and again.
- Bump version number.
- Implement backward compatibility mechanism. After this change when metadata in
old version is detected, it is automatically upgraded to the new (current)
version.
because we know it then and we need it when inserting a component which
wasn't destroyed while device was running.

that the events queue is empty. In other case we're able to hit the race
where for example da0s1 is tasted by some other class, which means that
da0 is open with exclusive bit set, which means that we can't open da0
for writing if it is our component.
Reported by: Attila Nagy <bra@fsn.hu> (and somebody else sometime ago,
but I cannot find who it was)
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.

I observe 40% of speed-up with this option for random read operations,
but slowdown for sequential reads.
Basically, without this option reading from a RAID3 device built from 5
components (c0-c4) looks like this:
Request no. Used components
1 c0+c1+c2+c3
2 c0+c1+c2+c3
3 c0+c1+c2+c3
With the new feature:
Request no. Used components
1 c0+c1+c2+c3
2 (c1^c2^c3^c4)+c1+c2+c3
3 c0+(c0^c2^c3^c4)+c2+c3
4 c0+c1+(c0^c1^c3^c4)+c3
5 c0+c1+c2+(c0^c1^c2^c4)
