primitives by breaking stop_scheduler into a per-thread variable.
Also, store the new td_stopsched very close to td_*locks members as
they will be accessed mostly in the same codepaths as td_stopsched and
this results in avoiding a further cache-line pollution, possibly.
STOP_SCHEDULER() was pondered to use a new 'thread' argument, in order to
take advantage of already cached curthread, but in the end there should
not really be a performance benefit, while introducing a KPI breakage.

create slices based on the metadata.
This allows to create slices on geoms with rank != 1 without hacks.

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.
This is really ugly way to do this, but there is no other way for now.
It allows to mount root file system from providers which belong to
those classes.

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.
This replaces the current ioctl processing with a direct call path
from geom_dev() where the ioctl arrives (from SPECFS) to any directly
connected GEOM class.
The inverse of the above is no longer supported. This is the
situation were you have one or more intervening GEOM classes, for
instance a BSDlabel on top of a MBR or PC98. If you want to issue
MBR or PC98 specific ioctls, you will need to issue them on a MBR
or PC98 providers.
This paves the way for inviting CD's, FD's and other special cases
inside GEOM.

skip those. This handles the Protective MBR (PMBR) which consists
of a single partition of type 0xEE that covers the whole disk and
as such protects the GPT partitioning. We allow other partitions to
be present besides partitions of type 0xEE and as such interpret
partition type 0xEE as a "hands-off" partition only.
While here, fix g_mbrext_dumpconf to test if indent is NULL and
dump the data in a form that libdisk can grok. Change the logic
in g_mbr_dumpconf to match that of g_mbrext_dumpconf. This does
not change the output, but prevents a NULL-pointer dereference
when indent == NULL && pp == NULL.
