the bio to a pristine state should you wish to re-use it for another
I/O without freeing it. In the bast, a simple bzero was done to do
this, but that may not be sufficient in the future when the bio may
contain state that's not part of the documented API. Besides, it makes
the code clearer as to the intent...
Noticed by: smh@
consumer and 'bio_pflags' which can be used by provider.
- Remove BIO_FLAG1 and BIO_FLAG2 flags. From now on new fields should be
used for internal flags.
- Update g_bio(9) manual page.
- Update some comments.
- Update GEOM_MIRROR, which was the only one using BIO_FLAGs.
