cb08c2cc83 Add some FEATURE macros for various GEOM classes.
No FreeBSD version bump, the userland application to query the features will
be committed last and can serve as an indication of the availablility if
needed.

041b706b2f Despite several examples in the kernel, the third argument of
sysctl_handle_int is not sizeof the int type you want to export.
The type must always be an int or an unsigned int.

Remove the instances where a sizeof(variable) is passed to stop
people accidently cut and pasting these examples.

In a few places this was sysctl_handle_int was being used on 64 bit
types, which would truncate the value to be exported.  In these
cases use sysctl_handle_quad to export them and change the format
to Q so that sysctl(1) can still print them.

04c7da702f A GEOM cache can speed up read performance by sending fixed size
read requests to its consumer.  It has been developed to address
the problem of a horrible read performance of a 64k blocksize FS
residing on a RAID3 array with 8 data components, where a single
disk component would only get 8k read requests, thus effectively
killing disk performance under high load.  Documentation will be
provided later.  I'd like to thank Vsevolod Lobko for his bright
ideas, and Pawel Jakub Dawidek for helping me fix the nasty bug.
