plexes_used and volumes_used. Now these fields are only informative,
and the <object>_allocated count is used for searches, etc. This also
required checking the object state before doing things with the
presumed object.

longjmp. I suspect that the occasional double panic may be the result
of incorrect parameters to longjmp. This happens, of course, like the
entire file, only with -DVINUMDEBUG.
give_sd_to_plex: Don't set Raid-5 subdisk state here.
config_subdisk: handle the name parameter correctly when the subdisk
was referenced in a previous plex definition. The
name parameter must come first.
Handle autosizing relatively correctly. There is
still a danger of losing drive space if problems
occur with an autosized subdisk.
Set state to empty, not up, when complete. This also
solves a nagging problem about enforcing the need to
initialize RAID-5 plexes.
config_plex: handle the name parameter correctly when the plex
was referenced in a previous volume definition. The
name parameter must come first.
Handle initial state better.
update_plex_config:
Calculate the trim factor for RAID-5 plexes correctly.
Set the number of down subdisks correctly when reading
from disk config.
remove the splbio() around the call to launch read requests.
launch_requests:
Move the splbio() protection outside the entire launch_loop. The
previous location was causing problems with IDE drives, where the
call to the strategy routine often did not complete until after
complete_rqe deallocated the request structure.

Check for partition types FS_VINUM and FS_UNUSED. Accept both, but
complain about FS_UNUSED. At a later date, only FS_VINUM will be
accepted.
Threatened-since: over a year
Add a flag `force' (VF_FORCECONFIG) to force name changes of
existing drives.
config_drive:
If the drive already has a vinum label, and name doesn't match the
specified drive, do it anyway if the 'force' flag is specified.
finish_config:
Reset the `force' flag.

give_sd_to_drive:
If the drive is down, take the subdisk down and don't try to fix
things.
update_plex_config:
Don't try to update the config parameters of a plex which isn't
fully configured (state plex_init or plex_unallocated).
Correctly calculate the amount to trim off a striped or RAID-5 plex
whose size is not a multiple of the stripe size.
compiled with or without debugging support. This enables us to catch
(fatal) mismatches between the kernel and userland.
Coalesce flags VINUM_DISKCONFIG and VINUM_READING_CONFIG. They did
essentially the same thing.
Add VINUM_BIGDRIVE for pretending we have macho hardware.
pretends that each drive is 100 times as large as it really is. Not
for use at home.
Coalesce flags VINUM_DISKCONFIG and VINUM_READING_CONFIG. They did
essentially the same thing.
This solved a problem where 'vinum resetconfig' only reset half
the drives.

Change the super device. We now have three super devices:
1. The normal superdevice used by vinum(8).
2. The superdevice used by vinum(8) when compiled with debug support.
3. The superdevice used by the daemon.
This method allows vinum(8) to determine debug mismatches. Also check
correctly for the device type. The old code did not check all bits of
the minor number.

MMalloc: save the time at which the request was granted, remove more
crud.
FFree: add a circular buffer of the last 64 Free requests if
DEBUG_MEMFREE is set.
after the volume had been fully operational; involves a change in the
use of the VF_NEWBORN flag. Now if you add a plex to a volume which
is up, the plex will be down and the subdisks stale. You need to
explicitly start the subdisks, which copies data from the good
subdisks to the uninitialized ones.

give_sd_to_drive:
correct method to give the entire largest chunk of drive to the
subdisk. Now it's enough to specify a length, and vinum will give
you as much as it can. Not to be recommended except for empty
drives.
Correct a bogon which made vinum refuse to give the last sector of
a drive to a subdisk.

Change %q formats to %ll before the former go away. This doesn't make
much difference, since kernel kvprintf currently doesn't support
either, and the messages in question are just error messages.
Change VINUM_SAVECONFIG: it now requires a parameter. 0 means
"configuration updates are finished, please save", and 1 means "please
just save the config". This second meaning is invoked by the new
"saveconfig" command to vinum(8).
Recognize "referenced" drives by the lack of a slash in the device
name, not by a NUL character.
vinum_scandisk: return error indication (ENOENT if we can't find any
vinum drive, otherwise 0).
VINUM_SAVECONFIG: change parameters.
Don't save config while we're reading it from disk.
Change the way we handle the daemon: if we can't communicate with it
for 1 second (which is possible), start a new one. The daemon saves
its pid in daemonpid; on each iteration of the main loop the daemon
checks whether it's still in favour. If not, it silently exits.
Also, when trying to communicate with the daemon, check daemonpid
first. If it's set to 0, don't even try.
