fa43d14d2c Bring in geom_sched, support for scheduling disk I/O requests
in a device independent manner. Also include an example anticipatory
scheduler, gsched_rr, which gives very nice performance improvements
in presence of competing random access patterns.

This is joint work with Fabio Checconi, developed last year
and presented at BSDCan 2009. You can find details in the
README file or at

93d13fc5c9 Change how multipath labels are created and managed. This makes it easier
to support various storage boxes which really aren't active-active.

We only write the label on the *first* provider. For all other providers
we just "add" the disk. This also allows for an "add" verb.

A usage implication is that you should specificy the currently active
storage path as the first provider.

Note that this does not add RDAC-like functionality, but better allows for
autovolumefailover configurations (additional checkins elsewhere will support
this).

ba210e8afe Add gmountver, disk mount verification GEOM class.
Note that due to e.g. write throttling ('wdrain'), it can stall all the disk
I/O instead of just the device it's configured for.  Using it for removable
media is therefore not a good idea.

0b756fd13c Increase default block size from 4K to 64K. It was reduces 6 yeard ago,
when trees were big and FAST mode was enabled by default.

So small block size doesn't benefits linear I/O operations in FAST and
significantly slowdowns in ECONOMIC (default) mode. For single stream random
I/Os so small block doesn't give much benefits, as access time is usually
bigger then transfer time there. Same time it requires all heads to seek
together for every single request, reducing performance on parallel load.

9a2663dbad Change gmirror default balance algorithm from "split" to "load".
"split" is very ineffective for devices with rotating media as HDDs.
To be effective, it needs that transfer time reduction due to block
splitting was bigger then access time increase due to non-sequential
access. For modern HDDs I was able to reproduce it only with read sizes
of 2MB and above, which is almost not applicable in real life.
"load" algorithm same time is more universal and effective now.

f9226694db Use humanize_number(), rather than a home-grown algorithm for
formatting a number in a human-friendly way.

Note that with this commit a megabyte changed from 1000000 to
1048576 and a 80G disk is now printed as being 75G in size.
This is deliberate. It's consistent with the core of geom(8).
However, the original choice for a megabyte being 1000000 was
on purpose and matches what disk vendors put on the box. The
consistency is considered more important.

eb18064487 By default backup geli metadata to a file. It is quite critical 512 bytes,
once it is lost, all data is gone.

Option '-B none' can by used to prevent backup. Option '-B path' can be
used to backup metadata to a different file than the default, which is
/var/backups/<prov>.eli.

The 'geli init' command also prints backup file location and gives short
procedure how to restore metadata.

The 'geli setkey' command now warns that even after passphrase change or keys
update there could be version of the master key encrypted with old
keys/passphrase in the backup file.

Add regression tests to verify that new functionality works as expected.

Update other regression tests so they don't create backup files.
