an application to upon a tape (yea, even the non-control device) even if
it cannot establish a mount session. If the open cannot establish a mount
session and O_NONBLOCK was specified, the tape becomes 'open pending mount'.
All I/O operations that would require access to a tape thereafter until
a close attempt to initiate the mount session. If the mount session succeeds,
the tape driver transitions to full open state, else returns an appropriate
I/O error (ENXIO).
At the same time, add a change that remembers whether tape is being opened
read-only. If so, disallow 'write' operations like writing filemarks that
bypass the normal read-only filtering operations that happen in the write(2)
syscall.

the underlying drive had been hot-unplugged from the system. Here
is a specific example. Filesystem code had opened /dev/da1s1e.
Subsequently, the drive was hot-unplugged. This (correctly) caused
all of the associated /dev/da1* entries to be deleted. When the
filesystem later realized that the drive was gone it closed the
device, reducing the write-access counts to 0 on the geom providers
for da1s1e, da1s1, and da1. This caused geom to re-taste the
providers, resulting in the devices being created again. When the
drive was hot-plugged back in, it resulted in duplicate /dev entries
for da1s1e, da1s1, and da1.
This fix adds a new disk_gone() function which is called by CAM when a
drive goes away. It orphans all of the providers associated with the
drive, setting an error condition of ENXIO in each one. In addition,
we prevent a re-taste on last close for writing if an error condition
has been set in the provider.

event handler, dev_clone, which accepts a credential argument.
Implementors of the event can ignore it if they're not interested,
and most do. This avoids having multiple event handler types and
fall-back/precedence logic in devfs.
This changes the kernel API for /dev cloning, and may affect third
party packages containg cloning kernel modules.

- Introducing the possibility of using locks different than mutexes
for the knlist locking. In order to do this, we add three arguments to
knlist_init() to specify the functions to use to lock, unlock and
check if the lock is owned. If these arguments are NULL, we assume
mtx_lock, mtx_unlock and mtx_owned, respectively.
- Using the vnode lock for the knlist locking, when doing kqueue operations
on a vnode. This way, we don't have to lock the vnode while holding a
mutex, in filt_vfsread.

module-specific malloc types. These should help us to pinpoint the
possible memory leakage in the future.
- Implementing xpt_alloc_ccb_nowait() and replacing all malloc/free based
CCB memory management with xpt_alloc_ccb[_nowait]/xpt_free_ccb. Hopefully
this would be helpful if someday we move the CCB allocator to use UMA
instead of malloc().

This was broken in rev 1.72 when the media check was added to cdioctl().
For now, check the ioctl group to decide whether to check for media or not.

The big lines are:

Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.
Manual page update to follow shortly.
