virtualization work done by Marko Zec (zec@).
This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.
Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.
We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed
so we do not invalidate a lot of outstanding patches again.

to global hostname and domainname variables. Where necessary, copy
to or from a stack-local buffer before performing copyin() or
copyout(). A few uses, such as in cd9660 and daemon_saver, remain
under-synchronized and will require further updates.
Correct a bug in which a failed copyin() of domainname would leave
domainname potentially corrupted.

Even though we got rid of device major numbers some time ago, device
drivers still need to provide unique device minor numbers to make_dev().
These numbers are only used inside the kernel. They are not related to
device major and minor numbers which are visible in devfs. These are
actually based on the inode number of the device.
It would eventually be nice to remove minor numbers entirely, but we
don't want to be too agressive here.
Because the 8-15 bits of the device number field (si_drv0) are still
reserved for the major number, there is no 1:1 mapping of the device
minor and unit numbers. Because this is now unused, remove the
restrictions on these numbers.
The MAXMAJOR definition was actually used for two purposes. It was used
to convert both the userspace and kernelspace device numbers to their
major/minor pair, which is why it is now named UMINORMASK.
minor2unit() and unit2minor() have now become useless. Both minor() and
dev2unit() now serve the same purpose. We should eventually remove some
of them, at least turning them into macro's. If devfs would become
completely minor number unaware, we could consider using si_drv0 directly,
just like si_drv1 and si_drv2.

the method for the (indent == NULL) case (i.e. the kern.geom.conftxt
sysctl). The purpose is to extend the conftxt output with scheme-
specific fields which can be used by libdisk. In particular, have
the schemes dump the xs and xt fields, which contain the backward
compatible values for class type and partition type. This allows
libdisk to work with the legacy slicers as well as with gpart and
helps/promotes migration.

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.

gpart core and will add the scheme to an internal list on module load
and will remove the scheme from the internal list on module unload.
This makes it possible to dynamically load and unload partitioning
schemes.

the scope of GEOM, can claim providers previously unclaimed.
The g_retaste() function posts an event which is handled by the

not have VTOC information about the partitions, it will be created.
This is because the VTOC information is used for the partition type
and FreeBSD's sunlabel(8) does not create nor use VTOC information.
For this purpose, new tags have been added to support FreeBSD's
partition types.
partition table is empty, check to see if we have something that
looks sufficiently like a BPB. On non-i386 machines, the boot
sector typically doesn't contain boot code; the end of the boot
sector is all zeroes. This is also where the partition table is
for MBRs.
We only check the sector size and cluster size, as that seems to
be the most reliable across implementations, BPB versions and
platforms.
only because there's a partition table where the boot sector has
boot code. Boot sectors without boot code look like a MBR for all
practical purposes. This change adds a check for the partition table
and fails the probe when it's obvously invalid. The assumption being
that the sector contains a boot sector and not a MBR.
More checks are needed to distinguish a boot secto without boot code
from a (empty) MBR.

o BSD disklabels have relative offsets. Even for the BSD in MBR slice

support that ioctl, bsdlabel(8) expects relative offsets. So, when
reading an existing disklabel, correct for disklabels that mistakenly
have the mbroffset offsets.
o Don't take the geometry seriously, because it's untrustworthy. We do
expect the numbers to be within range. This means that the secperunit
field will not be computed from secpercyl and ncyls, but simply is
