allows the class to create a different GEOM for the same provider
as well as avoid that we end up with multiple GEOMs of the same
class with the same name.
For example, when a disk contains a PC98 partition table but
only MBR is supported, then the partition table can be treated
as a MBR. If support for PC98 is later loaded as a module, the
MBR scheme is pre-empted for the PC98 scheme as expected.

the scope of GEOM, can claim providers previously unclaimed.

the underlying drive had been hot-unplugged from the system. Here
is a specific example. Filesystem code had opened /dev/da1s1e.
Subsequently, the drive was hot-unplugged. This (correctly) caused
all of the associated /dev/da1* entries to be deleted. When the
filesystem later realized that the drive was gone it closed the
device, reducing the write-access counts to 0 on the geom providers
for da1s1e, da1s1, and da1. This caused geom to re-taste the
providers, resulting in the devices being created again. When the
drive was hot-plugged back in, it resulted in duplicate /dev entries
for da1s1e, da1s1, and da1.
This fix adds a new disk_gone() function which is called by CAM when a
drive goes away. It orphans all of the providers associated with the
drive, setting an error condition of ENXIO in each one. In addition,
we prevent a re-taste on last close for writing if an error condition
has been set in the provider.

by the time that kldload(8) returns. Satisfy that by making the GEOM
module load event -- only when the kernel is !cold -- wait until the
GEOM module init function has finished instead of returning immediately.
This is the other half of fixing md(8) (actually, "mfs" in fstab(5))
that is similar to r1.128 of src/sys/dev/md/md.c. This bug would be
why RAM disks would often fail on boot and the first call to mdconfig(8)
would probably fail.
pjd has ideas for not requiring kldload(8) to work synchronously for
control devices that could make this obsolete.

Put fields in the class for the geom's methods and initialize the methods
of a new geom from these fields. This saves some code in all classes.
When we orphan/wither a provider, an attached geom+consumer could
end up being withered as a result and it may be in front of us in
the normal object scanning order so we need to do multi-pass. On
the other hand, there may be withering stuff we can't get rid off
(yet), so we need to keep track of both the existence of withering
stuff and if there is more we can do at this time.
