Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.

If struct disklabel is the messenger: kill the messenger.
Inside struct disk we had a struct disklabel which disk drivers used to
communicate certain metrics to the disklayer above (GEOM or the disk
mini-layer). This commit changes this communication to use four
explicit fields instead.
Amongst the benefits is that the fields do not get overwritten by
wrong or bogus on-disk disklabels.
Once that is clear, <sys/disk.h> which is included in the drivers
no longer need to pull <sys/disklabel.h> and <sys/diskslice.h> in,
the few places that needs them, have gotten explicit #includes for
them.
The disklabel inside struct disk is now only for internal use in
the disk mini-layer, so instead of embedding it, we malloc it as
we need it.
This concludes (modulus any mistakes) the series of disklabel related
commits.
I belive it all amounts to a NOP for all the rest of you :-)

Caveats:
The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.
I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).
Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.
All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.
Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.
Details:
ATA and SCSI drivers should work as the dump formatting code has been
removed. The IDA, TWE and AAC have not yet been converted.
Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set
the device as dumpdev. To implement the "off" argument, /dev/null
is used as the device.
Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented. All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles
named from the MD5 hash of the header record. The header record
is dumped in readable format in the .info file. The kernel
is not saved. Only complete dumps will be saved.
All maintainer rights for this code are disclaimed: feel free to
improve and extend.

non-existent disk in a legacy /dev on a DEVFS system would panic the system

label if the dump device overflaps the label (which is a slight
misconfiguration). Dump routines don't use dscheck(), so the normal
write protection of the label doesn't help.
Reduced some nearby overflow bugs. In disk_dumpcheck(), there was
(fatal but fail-safe) overflow on i386's with 4GB of memory, at least
if Maxmem was the top page (can this happen?). The fix assumes that
the sector size divides PAGE_SIZE (dump routines already assume this).
In setdumpdev(), the corresponding overflow occurred with only about
2GB of memory on all machines with 32-bit ints. This allowed setdumpdev()
to succeed when it shouldn't have, but then disk_dumpcheck() failed
safe later. Except in old versions of FreeBSD like RELENG_3 where
there is no disk_dumpcheck().

dev_t. The dev_depends(dev_t, dev_t) function is for tying them
to each other.
When destroy_dev() is called on a dev_t, all dev_t's depending
on it will also be destroyed (depth first order).
Rewrite the make_dev_alias() to use this dependency facility.
kern/subr_disk.c:
Make the disk mini-layer use dependencies to make sure all
relevant dev_t's are removed when the disk disappears.
Make the disk mini-layer precreate some magic sub devices
which the disk/slice/label code expects to be there.
kern/subr_disklabel.c:
Remove some now unneeded variables.
kern/subr_diskmbr.c:
Remove some ancient, commented out code.
kern/subr_diskslice.c:
Minor cleanup. Use name from dev_t instead of dsname()
cloning infrastructure standard in kern_conf. Modules are now
the same with or without devfs support.
If you need to detect if devfs is present, in modules or elsewhere,
check the integer variable "devfs_present".
This happily removes an ugly hack from kern/vfs_conf.c.
This forces a rename of the eventhandler and the standard clone
helper function.

Remove old DEVFS support fields from dev_t.
Make uid, gid & mode members of dev_t and set them in make_dev().
Use correct uid, gid & mode in make_dev in disk minilayer.
Add support for registering alias names for a dev_t using the
new function make_dev_alias(). These will show up as symlinks
in DEVFS.
Use makedev() rather than make_dev() for MFSs magic devices to prevent
DEVFS from noticing this abuse.
Add a field for DEVFS inode number in dev_t.
Add new DEVFS in fs/devfs.
Add devfs cloning to:

insertion of a CF card, for random values of N > 1. With these fixes,
I've been able to do 100 insert/remove of the cards w/o a crash with
lots of system activity going on that in the past would help trigger
the crash.
The problem:
FreeBSD creates dev_t's on the fly as they are needed and never
destroys them. These dev_t's point to a struct disk that is used for
housekeeping on the disk. When a device goes away, the struct disk
pointer becomes a dangling pointer. Sometimes when the device comes
back, the pointer will point to the new struct disk (in which case the
insertion will work). Other times it won't (especially if any length
of time has passed, since it is dependent on memory returned from
malloc).
The Fix:
There is one of these dev_t's that is always correct. The
device for the WHOLE_DISK_SLICE is always right. It gets set at
create_disk() time. So, the fix is to spend a little CPU time and
lookup the WHOLE_DISK_SLICE dev_t and use the si_disk from that in
preference to the one that's in the device asking to do the I/O. In
addition, we change the test of si_disk == NULL meaning that the dev
needed to inherit properties from the pdev to dev->si_disk !=
pdev->si_disk. This test is a little stronger than the previous test,
but can sometimes be fooled into not inheriting. However, the results
of this fooling are that the old values will be used, which will
generally always be the same as before. si_drv[12] are the only
values that are copied that might pose a problem. They tend to change
as the si_disk field would change, so it is a hole, but it is a small
hole.
One could correctly argue that one should replace much of this code
with something much much better. I would be on the pro side of that
argument.
