and DSO_NOLABELS flags prevent searching for slices and labels
respectively. Current drivers don't set these flags. When
DSO_NOLABELS is set, the in-core label for the whole disk is cloned
to create an in-core label for each slice. This gives the correct
result (a good in-core label for the compatibility slice) if
DSO_ONESLICE is set or only one slice is found, but usually gives
broken labels otherwise, so DSO_ONESLICE should be set if DSO_NOLABELS
is set.
There is only cdevsw (which should be renamed in a later edit to deventry
or something). cdevsw contains the union of what were in both bdevsw an
cdevsw entries. The bdevsw[] table stiff exists and is a second pointer
to the cdevsw entry of the device. it's major is in d_bmaj rather than
d_maj. some cleanup still to happen (e.g. dsopen now gets two pointers
to the same cdevsw struct instead of one to a bdevsw and one to a cdevsw).
rawread()/rawwrite() went away as part of this though it's not strictly
the same patch, just that it involves all the same lines in the drivers.
cdroms no longer have write() entries (they did have rawwrite (?)).
tapes no longer have support for bdev operations.

FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
All known versions of this drive (firmware 21.* and 23.*) will lock up
if presented with a read/write request of > 64 blocks. In the presence
of such a unit, I/O requests of > 64 blocks are fragmented to avoid
this.
This is Junichi's v1.0 driver.
NOTE: Major device numbers have been changed to avoid conflict with other
FreeBSD 3.0 devices. The new numbers should be considered "official."
This driver is still considered "beta" quality, although we have been
playing with it. Please submit bugs to junichi and myself.
