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.
in geom_disk.c.
As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.
stored at a different location in the PCI space, so adjust accordingly.
Also, when using more than two smart controllers in one machine, the
disks were assigned the wrong drive number; fix this as well.
booting on a RAID volume.
- Change 'id_foo' and 'idfoo' to 'idad_foo' and 'idadfoo'. This makes
names more consistent with the devices that the code belongs to (more
in line with the style used in the amr/mlx driver.)

Exceptions:
Vinum untouched. This means that it cannot be compiled.
Greg Lehey is on the case.
CCD not converted yet, casts to struct buf (still safe)
atapi-cd casts to struct buf to examine B_PHYS
Change disk names to `idad' to avoid naming conflicts with the controller,
and enable the new disk code to pick up the drives.
