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
for completion or not. This allows it to DTRT when called
with the -w flag either directly or via initplex().
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
this space.
Add function definition for readpol command.
Rewrite make_devices with a view to incremental making. In the
process, effectively kill off plex-bound subdisk device numbers.
Add Cybernet copyright.
