this could do with improvement: in particular, we get an error if the
components of an object have different sector sizes.

Implement setreadpol() function for the VINUM_READPOL ioctl.

with it.
Finally implement read policies. The previous "implementation" didn't
work because it referred to plexes which were almost invariably when
referred to. Instead, deprecate the "prefer" keyword for volumes
(though it's still there for the moment) and add a keyword "preferred"
to the plex definition. The relationship is like this:
Old:
vol foo ... prefer foo.p3
New:
plex foo.p3 volume foo preferred
print_config: Print "preferred" where appropriate.
No longer print "prefer" on volume config entries.

give_plex_to_volume: set preferred plex if specified on plex

specify the preferred plex.
config_plex: Implement preferred keyword.
Add ioctl VINUM_READCONFIG which implements both the "read" and
"start" commands in vinum(8). Aim for marginally better error
messages when something goes wrong.
just return it. Don't try to reinitialize it. This should fix a
number of inconsistencies that some people encountered with "vinum

Check for null rqgs. This continue to be reported, though I can't
work out why.

As a result of the minor number changes, split out the superdevice
handling into a separate function, vinum_super_ioctl. This was most
of the code of vinumioctl.

As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

- Remove the buftimelock mutex and acquire the buf's interlock to protect
these fields instead.
- Hold the vnode interlock while locking bufs on the clean/dirty queues.
This reduces some cases from one BUF_LOCK with a LK_NOWAIT and another
BUF_LOCK with a LK_TIMEFAIL to a single lock.

similar patch has been in 4.x for a while, but is more hacky there.)
For this to work, vinum has to be loaded early (e. g. from
boot/loader), for obvious reasons. If the kernel env variable
(aka. loader variable) "vinum.autostart" is set, vinum then asks the
sysctl kern.disks for all available disks in the system, and scans
them for possible vinum headers.
For statically compiled kernels, this behaviour can be obtained even
without boot/loader by using "options VINUM_AUTOSTART" (though this is
not the recommended way).
Alternatively, the 4.x way to specify "vinum.drives" is also supported.
No further hacks (like the 4.x "vinum.root" variable) are needed,
since in 5.x, mountroot() asks back at the drivers to have them
resolve the name of the root FS into a dev_t (using the dev_clone
eventhandler).
(The MFC reminder below is for a partial MFC for vinum.autostart, the
rest is already there in 4.x.)
