do not constitute user-visible or active partitions and as such should
not prevent undoing pending operations.
While here, initialize the last usable sector for the placeholder geom
based on the null scheme, created to allow undoing the destruction of
a scheme. This gives consistent output with "gpart show".
Based on a patch from: "Andrey V. Elsukov" <bu7cher@yandex.ru>
zero stripeoffset in such case (as if device has no stripes), report offset
from the beginning of the media (as if device has single infinite stripe).
This gives partitioning tools information, required to guess better
partition alignment, in case if hardware doesn't report it's stripe size.
For example, it should give disklabel info about odd offset made by fdisk.
This fixes a null pointer dereference with "gpart create -s GPT" after
the previous commit.

It is valid for an on-disk GPT header to report a header size which is
greater than 92 bytes. Previously, we would read in the sector and copy
only the 92 bytes that we know how to deal with before calculating the
checksum for comparison. This meant that when we did the checksum, we
overshot the buffer and took in random memory, so the checksum would fail.
We now determine the size of the header and allocate enough space to
preserve the entire on-disk contents. This allows us to be correctly
calculate the checksum and be able to modify and write the header back
to the disk, while preserving data that we might not understand.

depend on on-disk metadata. This was we won't attach to providers that are used
by other classes. For example we don't want to configure partitions on da0 if
it is part of gmirror, what we really want is partitions on mirror/foo.
During regular work it works like this: if provider is open for writing a class
receives the spoiled event from GEOM and detaches, once provider is closed the
taste event is send again and class can rediscover its metadata if it is still
there. This doesn't work that way when new class arrives, because GEOM gives
all existing providers for it to taste, also those open for writing. Classes
have to decided on their own if they want to deal with such providers (eg.
geom_dev) or not (classes modified by this commit).

got introduced to provide backward compatibility for extended
partitions, but it ended up not being used because it didn't work
as expected. Since there are no consumers of the ioctl and the
implementation is broken, the best fix is to remove the code
entirely.

"raw" names. While there, change the formatting of extended MSDOS partitions
so that the dot (".") is not used to separate two numbers (which kind of
looks like the whole is a decimal number). Use "+" instead, which also
hints that the second part of the name is the offset from the start of
the partition in the first part of the name. Also change the offset from
decimal to hexadecimal notation, simply for aesthetic reasons and future
compatibility.
GEOM_PART is the default in 8-CURRENT but not yet in 7-STABLE so this

o When adding a partition/slice, recalculate the index after
the start and size of the partition/slice are adjusted to

method allows schemes to reject the ctl request, pre-check

use cases that triggered the addition:
1. When implementing a R/O scheme, deletes will still
happen to the in-memory representation. The scheme is
not involved in that operation. The pre-check method
can be used to fail the delete up-front. Without this
the write to disk will typically fail, but at that
time the delete already happened.
2. The EBR scheme uses a linked list to record slices.
There's no index. The EBR scheme defines the index
as a function of the start LBA of the partition. The
add verb picks an index for the range and then invokes
the add method of the scheme to fill in the blanks. It
is too late for the add method to change the index.
The pre-check is used to set the index up-front. This
also (silently) overrides/nullifies any (pointless)
user-specified index value.

o Put the start and end of the partition in the XML configuration.
The start and end are the LBAs of the first and last sector
(resp.) of the partition. They are currently identical to the
offset and size attributes, which describe the partition as an
offset and size in bytes, but may not in the future. The start
and end will be used for the logical partition boundaries and
may include metadata. The offset and size will always represent
the useful storage space within the partition. Typically these
two notions are the same, but for logical partitions in an
extended partition, the EBR is more naturally treated as being
part of the partition.
