0bf19fd812 - Add support for 'memsync' mode. This is the fastest replication mode that's
why it will now be the default.
- Bump protocol version to 2 and add backward compatibility for version 1.
- Allow to specify hosts by kern.hostid as well (in addition to hostname and
  kern.hostuuid) in configuration file.

374501b495 After every activemap change flush disk's write cache, so that write
reordering won't make the actual write to be committed before marking
the coresponding extent as dirty.

It can be disabled in configuration file.

If BIO_FLUSH is not supported by the underlying file system we log a warning
and never send BIO_FLUSH again to that GEOM provider.

3420a73611 In hast.conf we define the other node's address in 'remote' variable.
This way we know how to connect to secondary node when we are primary.
The same variable is used by the secondary node - it only accepts
connections from the address stored in 'remote' variable.
In cluster configurations it is common that each node has its individual
IP address and there is one addtional shared IP address which is assigned
to primary node. It seems it is possible that if the shared IP address is
from the same network as the individual IP address it might be choosen by
the kernel as a source address for connection with the secondary node.
Such connection will be rejected by secondary, as it doesn't come from
primary node individual IP.

Add 'source' variable that allows to specify source IP address we want to
bind to before connecting to the secondary node.

337b50efa8 Allow to compress on-the-wire data using two algorithms:
- HOLE - it simply turns all-zero blocks into few bytes header;
	it is extremely fast, so it is turned on by default;
	it is mostly intended to speed up initial synchronization
	where we expect many zeros;
- LZF - very fast algorithm by Marc Alexander Lehmann, which shows
	very decent compression ratio and has BSD license.

0dcf2ac7ad Fix a problem where hastd will stuck in recv(2) after sending request to
secondary, which died between send(2) and recv(2). Do it by adding timeout
to recv(2) for primary incoming and outgoing sockets and secondary outgoing
socket.

1c1e2e8b71 Please welcome HAST - Highly Avalable Storage.
HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.

HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.

For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.
