test is built to test GEOM as running in the kernel.
This commit is basically "unifdef -D_KERNEL" to remove the mainly #include
related code to support the userland-harness.
event posting functions varargs to fill these.
Attribute g_call_me() to appropriate g_geom's where necessary.
Add a flag argument to g_call_me() methods which will be used to signal
cancellation of events in the future.
This commit should be a no-op.
to be performed in the event-thread.
To do this, we need to lock the eventlist with g_eventlock (nee g_doorlock),
since g_call_me() being called from the UP/DOWN paths will not be able to
aquire g_topology_lock.
This also means that for now these events are not referenced on any
particular consumer/provider/geom.
For UP/DOWN path use, this will not become a problem since the access()
function will make sure we drain any bio's before we dismantle.

most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.
Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64
test and play with this.
This is not yet production quality and should be run only on dedicated
test boxes.
For people who want to develop transformations for GEOM there exist a
set of shims to run geom in userland (ask phk@freebsd.org).
