for example if somebody has used 'setupstate'.
New functions vinum_raid4 and vinum_raid5 to create RAID-4 and RAID-5

Add function vinum_mv, which moves subdisks to different drives. This
function just does the low-level configuration changes; the resultant
subdisk is stale if it previously had any contents, otherwise it is
empty (i.e. in need of initializing if it's RAID-5). We still need to
handle getting the contents moved over, but the current version will
suffice to migrate subdisks from a disk which has failed.

vinum_start: bzero the statinfo.dinfo struct. The lack of this was

Add body of vinum_checkparity command.
vinum_init(): Change name of variable plexindex to objindex, which
better describes its purpose.
initsd(): Add a second parameter to determine whether it should wait

Add 'setstate' command (function vinum_setstate ()) to implement the
VINUM_SETSTATE_FORCE ioctl for diddling individual object states.
This is a repair tool which can also be used for panicing the system.
Use with utmost care if at all.
Add unimplemented commands 'checkparity' and 'rebuildparity'. Watch
