Actually, one cannot setup root file system on RAID3 device, but when
other file system exist in /etc/fstab which are placed on RAID3 device,
boot process will be interrupted when these devices are missing.

the assumption that performance was more important that beancounter
quality statistics.
As it transpires the microoptimization is not measurable in the
real world and the inconsistent statistics confuse users, so revert
the decision.

It creates very huge provider (41PB) /dev/gzero.
On BIO_READ request it zero-fills bio_data and on BIO_WRITE it does nothing.
You can also set kern.geom.zero.clear sysctl to 0 to do nothing even for
BIO_READ.
I'm using it for performance testing where it is very helpful.

post an event to the geom event queue that will take care of it,
letting outstanding bios finish, and closing the consumers.
Plus some cosmetic clean ups.
resides on. Fix the special case of the filesystem fragment size not
evenly dividing the size of the provider. Fixing the general case
probably requires better superblock validation (left as an exercise to
the reader).
While we wait for holds to be released, print a list of who holds us
back once per second.
Use the new KPI from GEOM instead of vfs_mount.c calling g_waitidle().
Use the new KPI also from ata.
With ATAmkIII's newbusification, ata could narrowly miss the window
and ad0 would not exist when we tried to mount root.
in BSD and MBR classes, ie. if provider below us uses the same metadata,
don't create labels based on the metadata.
This allows to create labels on geoms with rank != 1 without hacks.

- First allocate all needed bios, so if any of allocations fail, we can
free memory before sending any I/O requests down.

seem to be necessary anymore, and it prevents tasting a valid drive
when booting with geom_vinum already loaded, since SCSI disks set their
sectorsize not until first opening them.
shared-last-sector problem.
After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
(then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
isn't important at all.

the previous one failed and there are more than one plex in the volume.
This could have led to a flood of error messages on the console and
probably a deadlock in certain situations.
