partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular, "efi").
This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting PowerPC systems,
in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot on APM and an IBM-specific
code on MBR.
This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also breaks a
degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the addition
of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from GPT in addition to
MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which those systems are, leave
the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for now.
This partitioning scheme is used in DragonFlyBSD. It is similar to
BSD disklabel, but has the following improvements:
* metadata has own dedicated place and isn't accessible through partitions;
* all offsets are 64-bit;
* supports 16 partitions by default (has reserved place for more);
* has reserved place for backup label (but not yet implemented);
* has UUIDs for partitions and partition types;

and finish the job. ncurses is now the only Makefile in the tree that
uses it since it wasn't a simple mechanical change, and will be
addressed in a future commit.
This fixes the problem, when gmirror starts again just after stop.
The problem occurs when gmirror's component has geom label with equal size.
E.g. gpt and gptid have the same size as partition, diskid has the same
size as entire disk. When gmirror's geom has been destroyed, glabel
creates its providers and this initiate retaste.
Now "gmirror destroy" command is available. It destroys geom and also
erases gmirror's metadata.

Now it is easy to expand the size of the mirror when all its components
are replaced. Also add g_resize method to geom_mirror class. It will write
updated metadata to new last sector, when parent provider is resized.

This allows setting attributes on tables. One simply does not provide
an index in that case. Otherwise the entry corresponding the index has
the attribute set or unset.
Use this change to fix a relatively longstanding bug in our GPT scheme
that's the result of rev 198097 (relatively harmless) followed by rev
237057 (damaging). The damaging part being that our GPT scheme always
has the active flag set on the PMBR slice. This is in violation with
EFI. Existing EFI implementions for both x86 and ia64 reject the GPT.
As such, GPT disks created by us aren't usable under EFI because of
that.
After this change, GPT disks never have the active flag set on the PMBR
slice. In order to make the GPT disk bootable under some x86 BIOSes,
the reason of rev 198097, one must now set the active attribute on the
gpt table. The kernel will apply this to the PMBR slice For (S)ATA:
gpart set -a active ada0
To fix an existing GPT disk that has the active flag set in the PMBR,
and that does not need the flag, use (again for (S)ATA):
gpart unset -a active ada0
The EBR, MBR & PC98 schemes, which also impement at least 1 attribute,
now check to make sure the entry passed is valid. They do not have
attributes that apply to the table.
This compiler flag enforces that that people either mark variables
static or use an external declarations for the variable, similar to how
-Wmissing-prototypes works for functions.
Due to the fact that Yacc/Lex generate code that cannot trivially be
changed to not warn because of this (lots of yy* variables), add a
NO_WMISSING_VARIABLE_DECLARATIONS that can be used to turn off this
specific compiler warning.

Supports multiple volumes per array and multiple partitions per disk.
Supports standard big-endian and Adaptec's little-endian byte ordering.
Supports all single-layer RAID levels. Dual-layer RAID levels except
RAID10 are not supported now because of GEOM RAID design limitations.
Some work is still to be done, but the present code already manages basic

- Implement "configure" command to allow switching operation mode of
running device on-fly without destroying and recreation.
- Implement Active/Read mode as hybrid of Active/Active and Active/Passive.
In this mode all paths not marked FAIL may handle reads same time,
but unlike Active/Active only one path handles write requests at any
point in time. It allows to closer follow original write request order
if above layers need it for data consistency (not waiting for requisite
write completion before sending dependent write).
- Hide duplicate messages about device status change.
- Remove periodic thread wake up with 10Hz rate.
