partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular, "efi").
This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting PowerPC systems,
in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot on APM and an IBM-specific
code on MBR.
This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also breaks a
degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the addition
of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from GPT in addition to
MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which those systems are, leave
the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for now.
These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

This partitioning scheme is used in DragonFlyBSD. It is similar to
BSD disklabel, but has the following improvements:
* metadata has own dedicated place and isn't accessible through partitions;
* all offsets are 64-bit;
* supports 16 partitions by default (has reserved place for more);
* has reserved place for backup label (but not yet implemented);
* has UUIDs for partitions and partition types;

g_orphan_register and g_resize_provider_event. Both are called from the
event queue. Also we have GEOM_DEV class, which does deferred destroy
for its consumers via g_dev_destroy (also called from the event queue).
So it is possible, that for some consumers an orphan method will be
called twice. This triggers panic in g_dev_orphan.
Check that consumer isn't already orphaned before call orphan method.

No functional changes.
Instead opening/closing provider by each of metadata classes, do it only
once in core code. Since for SCSI disks open/close means sending some
SCSI commands to the device, this change reduces taste time.

Make sure not to start I/O bigger than MAXPHYS bytes.
Quoting r264504:
When we detect the condition, we'll reduce the block count and perform
a "short" read. In g_uncompress_done() we need to consider the original
I/O length and stop early if we're about to deflate a block that we didn't
read. By using bio_completed in the cloned BIO and not bio_length to
check for this, we automatically and gracefully handle short reads that
our providers may be doing on top of the short reads we may initiate
ourselves.

problems in our providers, such as a KASSERT in md(4). We can initiate
I/O for more than MAXPHYS bytes if we've been given a BIO for MAXPHYS
bytes, the blocks from which we're reading couldn't be compressed and
we had compression in preceeding blocks resulting in misalignment of
the blocks we're trying to read relative to the sector. We're forced to
round up the I/O length to make it an multiple of the sector size.

This caused incorrect behavior of arrays with big-endian DDF metadata.
Little-endian (like used by Adaptec controllers) should not be harmed.
Add workaround should be enough to manage compatibility.

That's ideal. For now, separate GPT labels from the rest and allow

This fixes the problem, when gmirror starts again just after stop.
The problem occurs when gmirror's component has geom label with equal size.
E.g. gpt and gptid have the same size as partition, diskid has the same
size as entire disk. When gmirror's geom has been destroyed, glabel
creates its providers and this initiate retaste.
Now "gmirror destroy" command is available. It destroys geom and also
erases gmirror's metadata.
