Instead opening/closing provider by each of metadata classes, do it only
once in core code. Since for SCSI disks open/close means sending some
SCSI commands to the device, this change reduces taste time.

This caused incorrect behavior of arrays with big-endian DDF metadata.
Little-endian (like used by Adaptec controllers) should not be harmed.
Add workaround should be enough to manage compatibility.

shifts into the sign bit. Instead use (1U << 31) which gets the
expected result.
This fix is not ideal as it assumes a 32 bit int, but does fix the issue
for most cases.
A similar change was made in OpenBSD.

When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.
The defined now safety requirements are:
- caller should not hold any locks and should be reenterable;
- callee should not depend on GEOM dual-threaded concurency semantics;
- on the way down, if request is unmapped while callee doesn't support it,
the context should be sleepable;
- kernel thread stack usage should be below 50%.
To keep compatibility with GEOM classes not meeting above requirements
new provider and consumer flags added:
- G_CF_DIRECT_SEND -- consumer code meets caller requirements (request);
- G_CF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- consumer code meets callee requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- provider code meets caller requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- provider code meets callee requirements (request).
Capable GEOM class can set them, allowing direct dispatch in cases where
it is safe. If any of requirements are not met, request is queued to
g_up or g_down thread same as before.
Such GEOM classes were reviewed and updated to support direct dispatch:
CONCAT, DEV, DISK, GATE, MD, MIRROR, MULTIPATH, NOP, PART, RAID, STRIPE,
VFS, ZERO, ZFS::VDEV, ZFS::ZVOL, all classes based on g_slice KPI (LABEL,
MAP, FLASHMAP, etc).
To declare direct completion capability disk(9) KPI got new flag equivalent
to G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- DISKFLAG_DIRECT_COMPLETION. da(4) and ada(4) disk
drivers got it set now thanks to earlier CAM locking work.
This change more then twice increases peak block storage performance on
systems with manu CPUs, together with earlier CAM locking changes reaching
more then 1 million IOPS (512 byte raw reads from 16 SATA SSDs on 4 HBAs to
256 user-level threads).

disks should be rebuilt. Our rebuild code is same time disk-centric. To
handle this situation properly check all disks for RBLD flags, and if no
disk specified try rebuild/resync all of them except newly inserted.
Windows driver uses such migration when it creates new arrays. While GEOM
RAID has no mechanism to implement migration in general case, this specifc
case still can be handled easily via degraded RAID1 creation followed by
regular rebuild.
It is alike to RAID1, but with dedicating master and recovery disks and
providing manual control over synchronization. It allows to use recovery
disk as snapshot of the master disk from the time of the last sync.
This implementation is not functionaly complete comparing to Windows,
but it is better then silent conversion to RAID1 on first boot.
Alike to BIO_WRITE, report success if at least one subdisk succeeded with
BIO_DELETE. But unlike BIO_WRITE don't fail disk on BIO_DELETE error.

If at least one subdisk in the volume supports it, BIO_DELETE requests
will be propagated down. Unfortunatelly, for RAID levels with redundancy
unmapped blocks will be mapped back during first rebuild/resync process.

and move that action from shutdown_pre_sync to shutdown_post_sync stage
to avoid extra flapping.
ZFS tends to not close devices on shutdown, that doesn't allow GEOM RAID
to shutdown gracefully. To handle that, mark volume as clean just when
shutdown time comes and there are no active writes.

Supports standard big-endian and Adaptec's little-endian byte ordering.
Supports all single-layer RAID levels. Dual-layer RAID levels except
RAID10 are not supported now because of GEOM RAID design limitations.
Some work is still to be done, but the present code already manages basic
interoperation with RAID BIOS of the Adaptec 1430SA SATA RAID controller.
