This prevents from listing geoms like <name>.sync which can be confusing.
It still allows to show details about it by giving its name when listing.

initializing the sysctl mibs data before actually using them.
The original patchset (which is the actual version that is running
on my testboxes) have checked whether all of these sysctls and
refuses to do background fsck if we don't have them. Kirk has
pointed out that refusing running fsck on old kernels is pointless,
as old kernels will recompute the summary at mount time, so I
have removed these checks.
Unfortunatelly, as the checks will initialize the mib values of
those sysctl's, and which are vital for the runtime summary
adjustment to work, we can not simply remove the check, which
will lead to problem when running background fsck over a dirty
volume. Add these checks in a different way: give a warning rather
than refusing to work, and complain if the functionality is not
available when adjustments are necessary.

shared-last-sector problem.
After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
(then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
isn't important at all.

This option has to be specified in addition to IPFIRWALL_FORWARD.
With this option even packets targeted for an IP address local
to the host can be redirected. All restrictions to ensure proper
behaviour for locally generated packets are turned off. Firewall
rules have to be carefully crafted to make sure that things like
PMTU discovery do not break.
Document the two kernel options.

very slow process, especially for large file systems that is just
recovered from a crash.
Since the summary is already re-sync'ed every 30 second, we will
not lag behind too much after a crash. With this consideration
in mind, it is more reasonable to transfer the responsibility to
background fsck, to reduce the delay after a crash.
Add a new sysctl variable, vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount, to
control this behavior. When set to nonzero, we will get the
"old" behavior, that the summary is computed immediately at mount
time.
Add five new sysctl variables to adjust ndir, nbfree, nifree,
nffree and numclusters respectively. Teach fsck_ffs about these
API, however, intentionally not to check the existence, since
kernels without these sysctls must have recomputed the summary
and hence no adjustments are necessary.
This change has eliminated the usual tens of minutes of delay of
mounting large dirty volumes.

On the other hand, when creating a snapshot, the snapshot file will
appear as it is as big as the file system itself. Hence we will not
be able to create a file system on large file systems with small
block sizes.
Add a warning about this, and gives some hints to correct the issue.

its value once per ifconfig run. Use Sam's new callback
operation to set it when everything is done.
The purpose for this is that if you did something like
ifconfig bge0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
multiple times it would end up causing the PHY to re-sync
since it would send the IOCTLs:
ifconfig bge0 media 100baseTX -mediaopt full-duplex
ifconfig bge0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
This would cause the PHY to be updated twice even though
there really wasn't any change since the check in
sys/net/if_media.c would always fail.
Caveat is that this doesn't fix the case of:
ifconfig bge0 media autoselect
etc. since in sys/net/if_media.c it forces an autoselect to go through
the entire process in ifmedia_ioctl :-( :
/*
* If no change, we're done.
* XXX Automedia may invole software intervention.
* Keep going in case the the connected media changed.
* Similarly, if best match changed (kernel debugger?).
