The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
allocated ressouces should be ultimately freed in gv_destroy_geom()
(when unloading the module and not earlier), but I need to look at this
more closely.
is intend to be fast. Just like CONCAT class it provides manual and
auto configuration methods.

it is very useful for tests. One is able to destroy its provider
forcibly if wants to test how other class handle such events.
One is also able to specify failure probability to check how other
classes handle I/O errors.

Retire g_sanity() and corresponding debugflag (0x8)
Retire g_{stall,release}_events().
Under #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC:
Make g_valid_obj() an official function and have it return an an
non-zero integer which indicates the kind of object when found.
Implement G_VALID_{CLASS,GEOM,CONSUMER,PROVIDER}() macros based
on g_valid_obj().
Sprinkle calls to these macros liberally over the infrastructure.
Always check that we do not free a live object.
least common multiple of all disks sector sizes.
This will allow to safely concatenate disks with different sector sizes.
- Mark unused function arguments.
- Other minor cleanups.
Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.
Manual page update to follow shortly.
shown that it is not useful.
Rename the relative count g_access_rel() function to g_access(), only
the name has changed.
Change all g_access_rel() calls in our CVS tree to call g_access() instead.
Add an #ifndef BURN_BRIDGES #define of g_access_rel() for source
code compatibility.
