being defined in <sys/diskmbr.h>. Instead give the symbols here a
"PC98_" prefix. This way, both <sys/diskmbr.h> and <sys/diskpc98.h>
can be included in the same C source file.
The renaming is trivial. The only gotcha is that DOSBBSECTOR is
also redefined from 0 to 1. This because DOSBBSECTOR was always
used in conjunction with an addition of 1. The PC98_BBSECTOR symbol
is defined as 1 and the expression is simplified.
Note: it is not believed that ports are seriously impacted; or at
all for that matter.

primitives by breaking stop_scheduler into a per-thread variable.
Also, store the new td_stopsched very close to td_*locks members as
they will be accessed mostly in the same codepaths as td_stopsched and
this results in avoiding a further cache-line pollution, possibly.
STOP_SCHEDULER() was pondered to use a new 'thread' argument, in order to
take advantage of already cached curthread, but in the end there should
not really be a performance benefit, while introducing a KPI breakage.

observations lead me to believe that the convetion for pc98 boot
loaders is to have a jump unstruction, followed by a string, followed
by code. The jump usually doesn't have a nop after it and usually the
string is NUL terminated, but Grub/98 breaks both of these rules.

Remove XXX comment about IPL1 and replace it with some information
from my soon to be published web page on the pc98 disk layout. The
IPL1 test was the result of an observation of a disk with FreeBSD's
boot0 program. It was testing part of an area what appears to be
reserved for a boot loader name, which comes after a jump over this
area. I don't yet know if it is required to be any specific jump
instruction, or if the destination has to be location 11. [1]
[1] FreeBSD Press No. 13, page 115, poorly translated by myself. The
picture there shows offset 8 as the destination of the jump, but
FreeBSD's boot0 program has three padding NULs after the IPL1 name and
uses a 16-bit 'jmp' instruction.
This also adds support for bigger disks on the controller I have access to,

This replaces the current ioctl processing with a direct call path
from geom_dev() where the ioctl arrives (from SPECFS) to any directly
connected GEOM class.
The inverse of the above is no longer supported. This is the
situation were you have one or more intervening GEOM classes, for
instance a BSDlabel on top of a MBR or PC98. If you want to issue
MBR or PC98 specific ioctls, you will need to issue them on a MBR
or PC98 providers.
This paves the way for inviting CD's, FD's and other special cases
inside GEOM.

don't take the detour over the I/O path to discover them using getattr(),
we can just pick them out directly.
Do note though, that for now they are only valid after the first open
of the underlying disk device due compatibility with the old disk_create()
API. This will change in the future so they will always be valid.
