This allows to use numbers in human-readable form in many geom(8)
utilities. Such a simple change and makes live so much nicer.
Some examples:
gstripe label -s 16k
gmirror label -s 4k
gnop create -o 1g -s 128m -S 2k
gjournal label -s 2g
geli label -i 128k -s 4k

previous commit and that introduced optional parameters.
Existing classes (like geli(8)) use empty strings by default
and expect the parameter to be passed to the kernel as such.
Also, the default value of a string argument can be NULL.
Fix both cases by making the optional parameter conditional
upon gc_argname being set and making sure to test for NULL
before dereferencing the pointer.

In order to support gpart(8), geom(8) needs to support a named
argument. Also, optional string parameters are a requirement.
Both have been added to the infrastructure. The former required
all existing classes to be adjusted.

arrangement that has no intrinsic internal knowledge of whether devices
it is given are truly multipath devices. As such, this is a simplistic
approach, but still a useful one.
The basic approach is to (at present- this will change soon) use camcontrol
to find likely identical devices and and label the trailing sector of the
first one. This label contains both a full UUID and a name. The name is
what is presented in /dev/multipath, but the UUID is used as a true
distinguishor at g_taste time, thus making sure we don't have chaos
on a shared SAN where everyone names their data multipath as "Fred".
The first of N identical devices (and N *may* be 1!) becomes the active
path until a BIO request is failed with EIO or ENXIO. When this occurs,
the active disk is ripped away and the next in a list is picked to
(retry and) continue with.
During g_taste events new disks that meet the match criteria for existing
multipath geoms get added to the tail end of the list.
Thus, this active/passive setup actually does work for devices which
go away and come back, as do (now) mpt(4) and isp(4) SAN based disks.
There is still a lot to do to improve this- like about 5 of the 12
recommendations I've received about it, but it's been functional enough
for a while that it deserves a broader test base.

- First configured key is based only on keyfile (no passphrase).
- Device is attached.
- User changes first key (setkey) from keyfile to passphrase and doesn't
specify number of iterations (with -i option).
...geli(8) won't store calculated number of iterations in metadata.
This result in device beeing unaccesable after detach.
One can recover from this situation by guessing number of iterations
generated, storing it in metadata and trying to attach device.
Recovery procedure isn't nice, but one's data is not lost.

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.
- Print proper error message when argument is specified twice.
Before the change it was detected properly, because of how
G_OPT_DONE() macro worked.
- Use err(3) functions where appropriate.
- Add some assertions.
- Bump version number, because G_TYPE_BOOL addition breaks API and ABI.

- after killing all attached providers, all providers are then detached
and operation is repeated for those who were attached,
- we don't want to remove keys for read-only attached providers, we only
want to detach them.

supported for a moment.
- Don't allow to use -i when no passphrase is given. Now if iterations is
equal to -1 (not set), we know that we should not ask for the passphrase
on boot.
It still doesn't handle situation when one key is protected with
passphrase and the other is not. There is no quick fix for this.
The complete solution will be to make number of iterations a per-key
value. Because this need metadata format change and is only needed for
devices attached on boot, I'll leave it as it is for now.

- Assert geom(8) bugs (missing argument is a geom(8) bug).
- Clean-up and simplify the code by using new functions and assumtions

ignore "no such file" errors only, which I wanted to do.
Because of this I ignored all other errors on dlopen(3) failure as well,
which isn't good.
Fix this situation by calling access(2) on library file first and ignore
only ENOENT error. This allows to report all the rest of dlopen(3) errors.

metadata is equal to -1. if we then wanted to attach provider (or change
keys) and forget about '-p' flag it failed on assertion (quite ok, without
assertion it could call PKCS#5v2 with 4294967295 iterations).
Instead of failing on assertion, remind about '-p' flag.

shared-last-sector problem.
After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
(then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
isn't important at all.
- Provide backward compatibility.

After this change, when component is disconnected because of an I/O error,
it will not be connected and synchronized automatically, it will be logged
as broken and skipped. Autosynchronization can occur, when component is
disconnected (on orphan event) and connected again - there were no I/O
error, so there is no need to not connected the component, but when there were
writes while it wasn't connected, it will be synchronized.
This fix cases, when component is disconnected because of I/O error and can be
connected again and again.
- Bump version number.
- Implement backward compatibility mechanism. After this change when metadata in
old version is detected, it is automatically upgraded to the new (current)
version.
