sizeof(struct g_eli_metadata) will return the exact number of bytes needed
for storing it on the disk.
Without this change GELI was unusable on amd64 (and probably other 64-bit
archs), because sizeof(struct g_eli_metadata) was greater than 512 bytes
and geli(8) was failing on assertion.

When a drive is newly created, it's state is initially set to 'down',
so it won't allow saving the config to it (thus it will never know of
itself being created). Work around this by adding a new flag, that's
also checked when saving the config to a drive.
Actually, one cannot setup root file system on RAID3 device, but when
other file system exist in /etc/fstab which are placed on RAID3 device,
boot process will be interrupted when these devices are missing.

the assumption that performance was more important that beancounter
quality statistics.
As it transpires the microoptimization is not measurable in the
real world and the inconsistent statistics confuse users, so revert
the decision.

It creates very huge provider (41PB) /dev/gzero.
On BIO_READ request it zero-fills bio_data and on BIO_WRITE it does nothing.
You can also set kern.geom.zero.clear sysctl to 0 to do nothing even for
BIO_READ.
I'm using it for performance testing where it is very helpful.

post an event to the geom event queue that will take care of it,
letting outstanding bios finish, and closing the consumers.
Plus some cosmetic clean ups.
resides on. Fix the special case of the filesystem fragment size not
evenly dividing the size of the provider. Fixing the general case
probably requires better superblock validation (left as an exercise to
the reader).
While we wait for holds to be released, print a list of who holds us
back once per second.
Use the new KPI from GEOM instead of vfs_mount.c calling g_waitidle().
Use the new KPI also from ata.
With ATAmkIII's newbusification, ata could narrowly miss the window
and ad0 would not exist when we tried to mount root.
in BSD and MBR classes, ie. if provider below us uses the same metadata,
don't create labels based on the metadata.
This allows to create labels on geoms with rank != 1 without hacks.
