labels.
Please test the slice/label features:
cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV svn0
cd /var/tmp; dd if=/dev/zero of=vnfile bs=8192 count=1024
vnconfig -c /dev/rvn0 /var/tmp/vnfile
fdisk /dev/rvn0 # invent a geometry, create one BSD partition
disklabel -r -w vn0 floppy # a convenient (bogus) label
disklabel -e vn0 # edit label to match device
newfs /dev/rvn0a
mount /dev/vn0a /mnt
...
The steps after the fdisk could name the device vn0s1 instead of vn0.
Fix the sign of the adjustment after writing a label.
Writing of labels should work now.
Merge adjust_label() into fixlabel(). Detect more errors and don't
write if there is an error. Adjust sectors/unit and total sectors
to the numbers on the slice.
Add a function dsname() to print slice device names consistently, and
use it.
PCI BIOS mappings are retained, except if option PCI_REMAP
is specified in the kernel config file.
There is now a list of attach addresses, and the first
address that seems to make some device registers appear
is chosen.

Removed screensavers from syscons, they are now LKM's. This makes it
possible to do some really "interesting" screensavers...
Fixed bug that sometimes caused garbage to appear when leaving
"scroll-lock" history.
Reformattet indentation, it got too deep for a normal 80 pos screen.
Split up in syscons.c & syscons.h for use with the saver-lkm's.
Temporarily removed -s option from vidcontrol, savers should now
be loaded with modload.
that 9 bits aren't lost in the conversion. Changed all callers to expect
this. This allows paging on large (>2GB) filesystems.

Use request==VM_ALLOC_NORMAL rather than object!=kmem_object in deciding
if the caller is "important" in vm_page_alloc(). Also established a new
low threshold for non-interrupt allocations via cnt.v_interrupt_free_min.
vm_pageout.c:
Various algorithmic cleanup. Some calculations simplified. Initialize
cnt.v_interrupt_free_min to 2 pages.

Various more tweaks from John Dyson to improve read ahead calculations.
vfs_subr.c:
Only wakeup if numoutput is 0 in vwakeup().

metadata aren't thrashed by regular file I/O.
Added mechanism to limit the amount of outstanding I/O on a given vnode.
Pagedaemon wakeup policy changed to skew priority a little in favor of
file caching.
Slight code reorganization to improve clarity.
Added a few more comments.

commands per target. I could have followed the route of the ncr driver
and gone to great lengths to get the SCSI subsystem to support more, but
I think I'll use the time saved to help Julian and Peter make tagged
queuing a better handled generic feature. This also includes some comment
and enum clean up and a possible fix for the hanging PCI controllers.
the same as when initializing the in-core copies. Adjust checksums in
labels after adjusting labels. This finishes fudging the on-disk label to
make it coherent with the in-core label.
Handle EIO during initialization better.
Initialize the compatibility slice to the whole disk If there are no real
slices.
Don't warn about adjusting offsets in the label to make the 'c' partition
start at 0. The 'c' offset is now always absolute on-disk and 0 in-core
so an adjustment is usually required.
Don't confuse LABEL_PART with RAW_PART so much.
Check for partitions being within slices differently.
