We need to support providers created with this bug, so set special

G_ELI_FLAG_FIRST_KEY doesn't exist.

create reasonably large cache for the keys that is filled when
needed. The previous version was problematic for very large providers
(hundreds of terabytes or serval petabytes). Every terabyte of data
needs around 256kB for keys. Make the default cache limit big enough
to fit all the keys needed for 4TB providers, which will eat at most
1MB of memory.

embedded flash stores.
Some devices - notably those with uboot - don't have an
explicit partition table (eg like Redboot's FIS.)
geom_map thus provides an easy way to export the hard-coded
flash layout as geom providers for use by filesystems and
other tools.
It also includes a "search" function which allows for
dynamic creation of partition layouts where the device only
has a single hard-coded partition. For example, if
there is a "kernel+rootfs" partition, a single image can
be created which appends the rootfs after the kernel with
an appropriate search string. geom_map can be told to
search for said search string and create a partition
beginning after it.

g_io_deliver(). In such case it increases 'pace' counter on each ENOMEM and
reschedules the request. The 'pace' counter is decreased for each request going
down, but until 'pace' is greater than zero, GEOM will handle at most 10
requests per second. For GEOM GATE users that are proxy to local GEOM providers
(like ggatel(8) and HAST) we can end up with almost permanent slow down of GEOM
down queue. This is because once we reach GEOM GATE queue limit, we return
ENOMEM to the GEOM. This means that we have, eg. 1024 I/O requests in the GEOM
GATE queue. To make room in the queue and stop returning ENOMEM we need to
proceed the requests of course, but those requests are handled by userland
daemons that handle them by reading/writing also from/to local GEOM providers.
For example with HAST, a new requests comes to /dev/hast/data, which is GEOM
GATE provider. GEOM GATE passes the request to hastd(8) and hastd(8)
reads/writes from/to /dev/da0. Once we reach GEOM GATE queue limit, to free up
a slot in GEOM GATE queue, hastd(8) has to read/write from/to /dev/da0, but
this request will also be very slow, because GEOM now slows down all the
requests. We end up with full queue that we can unload at the speed of 10
requests per second. This simply looks like a deadlock.
Fix it by allowing userland daemons that work with both GEOM GATE and local
GEOM providers to specify unlimited queue size, so GEOM GATE will never return
ENOMEM to the GEOM.

registered in g_gate_units array and when its sc_provider field is
filled. If during this period g_gate_units is accessed by another
thread that is checking for provider name collision the crash is
possible.
Fix this by adding sc_name field to struct g_gate_softc. In
g_gate_create() when g_gate_softc is created but sc_provider is still
not sc_name points to provider name stored in the local array.

Add new RAID GEOM class, that is going to replace ataraid(4) in supporting
various BIOS-based software RAIDs. Unlike ataraid(4) this implementation
does not depend on legacy ata(4) subsystem and can be used with any disk
drivers, including new CAM-based ones (ahci(4), siis(4), mvs(4), ata(4)
with `options ATA_CAM`). To make code more readable and extensible, this
implementation follows modular design, including core part and two sets
of modules, implementing support for different metadata formats and RAID
levels.
Support for such popular metadata formats is now implemented:
Intel, JMicron, NVIDIA, Promise (also used by AMD/ATI) and SiliconImage.
Such RAID levels are now supported:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID1E, RAID10, SINGLE, CONCAT.
For any all of these RAID levels and metadata formats this class supports
full cycle of volume operations: reading, writing, creation, deletion,
disk removal and insertion, rebuilding, dirty shutdown detection
and resynchronization, bad sector recovery, faulty disks tracking,
hot-spare disks. For Intel and Promise formats there is support multiple
volumes per disk set.
Look graid(8) manual page for additional details.

Introduce new type of BIO_GETATTR -- GEOM::setstate, used to inform lower
GEOM about state of it's providers from the point of upper layers.
Make geom_disk use led(4) subsystem to illuminate states in such fashion:
FAILED - "1" (on), REBUILD - "f5" (slow blink), RESYNC - "f1" (fast blink),
ACTIVE - "0" (off).
LED name should be set for each disk via kern.geom.disk.%s.led sysctl.
Later disk API could be extended to allow disk driver to report this info
in custom way via it's own facilities.
Change BIO_GETATTR("GEOM::kerneldump") API to make set_dumper() called by
consumer (geom_dev) instead of provider (geom_disk). This allows any geom
insert it's code into the dump call chain, implementing more sophisticated
functionality then just disk partitioning.

The algorithm is supposed to work as follows:
in order to prevent starvation, when a new client starts being served we
record the start time and reset the counter of bytes served.
We then switch to a new client after a certain amount of time or bytes,
even if the current one still has pending requests.
To avoid charging a new client the time of the first seek,
we start counting time when the first request is served.
Unfortunately a bug in the previous version of the code failed
to set the start time in certain cases, resulting in some processes
exceeding their timeslice.
The fix (in this patch) is trivial, though it took a while to find
out and replicate the bug.
Thanks to Tommaso Caprai for investigating and fixing the problem.
