observations lead me to believe that the convetion for pc98 boot
loaders is to have a jump unstruction, followed by a string, followed
by code. The jump usually doesn't have a nop after it and usually the
string is NUL terminated, but Grub/98 breaks both of these rules.

Remove XXX comment about IPL1 and replace it with some information
from my soon to be published web page on the pc98 disk layout. The
IPL1 test was the result of an observation of a disk with FreeBSD's
boot0 program. It was testing part of an area what appears to be
reserved for a boot loader name, which comes after a jump over this
area. I don't yet know if it is required to be any specific jump
instruction, or if the destination has to be location 11. [1]
[1] FreeBSD Press No. 13, page 115, poorly translated by myself. The
picture there shows offset 8 as the destination of the jump, but
FreeBSD's boot0 program has three padding NULs after the IPL1 name and
uses a 16-bit 'jmp' instruction.
correct open/close behaviour of filesystems:
When an ioctl to modify the MBR arrives, we cannot take for granted that
we have the consumer open.
The symptom is that one cannot run 'boot0cfg -s2 /dev/ad0' in single-user
mode because / is the only open partition in only open r1w0e1.
If it is not, we attempt to increase the write count by one and
decrease it again afterwards.
Presumably most if not all other slices suffer from the same problem.

by the time that kldload(8) returns. Satisfy that by making the GEOM
module load event -- only when the kernel is !cold -- wait until the
GEOM module init function has finished instead of returning immediately.
This is the other half of fixing md(8) (actually, "mfs" in fstab(5))
that is similar to r1.128 of src/sys/dev/md/md.c. This bug would be
why RAM disks would often fail on boot and the first call to mdconfig(8)

pjd has ideas for not requiring kldload(8) to work synchronously for

Actually, it can even cause some problems, because GEOM requires sectorsize

Analogous to the drive level, give each volume and plex a worker thread

Without this check several needless geoms are created and valid

This change obsoletes the need for a separate geom to taste an

exclusive bit set.
- Remove kern.geom.mirror.sync_block_size sysctl. It is quite obvious that we
want to use the biggest size possible.
- Do not use UMA zone for sync data allocations. There could be only one
synchronization request per synchronized disk at a time, so allocate memory
for one request on whole synchronization process related to one disk.

two components (out of three) in parallel.

This introduced a small memory leak, but it wasn't really critical,

Put fields in the class for the geom's methods and initialize the methods

something goes wrong while running in "fast" mode, we free all bios and

- Bump version number.
This allows for a quite interesting trick. One can setup a stripe with
stripe size of 512 bytes and create transparent provider on top of it
with sector size equal to <ndisks> * 512. The result will be something
like RAID3 without parity disk (every access will touch all disks).

A number of modules return EINVAL in this instance, and I have left
those alone for now and instead taught MOD_QUIESCE to accept this
as "didn't do anything".
In this mode you can setup even very small stripe size and you can be
sure that only one I/O request will be send to every disks in stripe.
It consumes some more memory, but if allocation fails, it will fall
back to "ECONOMIC" mode.
It is about 10 times faster for small stripe size than "ECONOMIC" mode
and other RAID0 implementations. It is even recommended to use this
mode and small stripe size, so our requests are always splitted.
One can still use "ECONOMIC" mode by setting kern.geom.stripe.fast to 0.
It is also possible to setup maximum memory which "FAST" mode can consume,
by setting kern.geom.stripe.maxmem from /boot/loader.conf.
When we orphan/wither a provider, an attached geom+consumer could
end up being withered as a result and it may be in front of us in
the normal object scanning order so we need to do multi-pass. On
the other hand, there may be withering stuff we can't get rid off
(yet), so we need to keep track of both the existence of withering
stuff and if there is more we can do at this time.
This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).
g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.
New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))
