It allows to report to initiator LU identifying information, preset via
"ident_info" and "text_ident_info" options.
Unfortunately it is impossible to implement SET IDENTIFYING INFORMATION,
since we have no persistent storage it requires, so the information is
read-only for initiator and has to be set out-of-band.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
REPORT LUNS command is more related to target rather then specific LUN.
This node may be primary for LUNs for some reason unknown to another,
and command forwarded to another node won't be able to report them.
REQUEST SENSE is related to LUN, but in our implementation it reports
only UAs and CAs, that are stored locally rather then on primary node.
CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.
This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.
Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.
The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places..
At this point IMMED flag is translated to MNT_NOWAIT flag of VOP_FSYNC(),
hoping that file system implements that (ZFS seems doesn't).

Before this change SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands were executed exclusively,
as if they had ORDERED tag. But looking through SCSI specs I've found
no any reason to be so strict. For reads this ordering seems pointless.
For writes it looks less obvious, so I left ordering against preceeding
write commands, while following ones are no longer required to wait.

It is implemented for LUNs backed by ZVOLs in "dev" mode and files.
GEOM has no such API, so for LUNs backed by raw devices all LBAs will
be reported as mapped/unknown.

In this mode one head is in Active state, supporting all commands, while
another is in Standby state, supporting only minimal LUN discovery subset.
It is still incomplete since Standby state requires reservation support,
which is impossible to do right without having interlink between heads.
But it allows to run some basic experiments.
With command serialization used in CTL, there are no other commands to abort
when PREEMPT AND ABORT gets to run, so it is practically equal to PREEMPT.

This includes support for:
- Read-Write Error Recovery mode page;
- Informational Exceptions Control mode page;
- Logical Block Provisioning mode page;
- LOG SENSE command.
No real Informational Exceptions features yet. This is only a placeholder.

SPC-4 r2 allows to return empty defect list if the list is not supported.
We don't reallu support defect data lists, but this suppresses some errors.

Such LUNs will be visible to initiators, but return "not ready" status
on media access commands. If backing storage become available later,
`ctladm modify ...` or `service ctld reload` can trigger its reopen.
This allows to avoid extra network traffic when copying files on NTFS iSCSI
disks within one storage host by drag'n'dropping them in Windows Explorer
of Windows 8/2012. It should also accelerate Hyper-V VM operations, etc.

This allows to clone VMs and move them between LUNs inside one storage
host without generating extra network traffic to the initiator and back,
and without being limited by network bandwidth.
LUNs participating in copy operation should have UNIQUE NAA or EUI IDs set.
For LUNs without these IDs VMWare will use traditional copy operations.
Beware: the above LUN IDs explicitly set to values non-unique from the VM
cluster point of view may cause data corruption if wrong LUN is addressed!

For every supported command define CDB length and mask of bits that are
allowed to be set. This allows to remove bunch of checks through the code
and still make the validation more strict. To properly do it for commands
supporting multiple service actions, formalize their parsing by adding
subtables for each of such commands.
As visible effect, this change allows to add support for REPORT SUPPORTED
OPERATION CODES command, reporting to client all the data about supported
SCSI commands, except timeouts.

This gives some use to 512KB per-LUN buffers, allocated for Copan-specific
processor code and not used. It allows, for example, to test transport
performance and/or correctness without accessing the media, as supported
by Linux version of sg3_utils.

Make data_submit backends method support not only read and write requests,
but also two new ones: verify and compare. Verify just checks readability
of the data in specified location without transferring them outside.
Compare reads the specified data and compares them to received data,
returning error if they are different.
VERIFY(10/12/16) commands request either verify or compare from backend,
depending on BYTCHK CDB field. COMPARE AND WRITE command executed in two
stages: first it requests compare, and then, if succeesed, requests write.
Atomicity of operation is guarantied by CTL request ordering code.

Unfortunately we can't check range collisions for UNMAP commands alike
to writes, because they include multiple ranges, which are also passed
in data block, not in CDB. As result, UNMAP commands have to be treated
as colliding with any other command accessing the media.
From the other side all UNMAPs are equal (we don't support ANCHOR flag),
so we can execute several UNMAPs same time.
