DIOCGFLUSH - Flush write cache (sends BIO_FLUSH).
DIOCGDELETE - Delete data (mark as unused) (sends BIO_DELETE).
DIOCGIDENT - Get provider's uniqe and fixed identifier (asks for
GEOM::ident attribute).
First two are self-explanatory, but the last one might not be. Here are
properties of provider's ident:
- ident value is preserved between reboots,
- provider can be detached/attached and ident is preserved,
- provider's name can change - ident can't,
- ident value should not be based on on-disk metadata; in other words
copying whole data from one disk to another should not yield the same
ident for the other disk,
- there could be more than one provider with the same ident, but only if
they point at exactly the same physical storage, this is the case for
multipathing for example,
- GEOM classes that consumes single providers and provide single providers,
like geli, gbde, should just attach class name to the ident of the
underlying provider,
- ident is an ASCII string (is printable),
- ident is optional and applications can't relay on its presence.
The main purpose for this is that application and remember provider's ident
and once it tries to open provider by its name again, it may compare idents
to be sure this is the right provider. If it is not (idents don't match),
then it can open provider by its ident.

o make all crypto drivers have a device_t; pseudo drivers like the s/w
crypto driver synthesize one
o change the api between the crypto subsystem and drivers to use kobj;
cryptodev_if.m defines this api
o use the fact that all crypto drivers now have a device_t to add support
for specifying which of several potential devices to use when doing
crypto operations
o add new ioctls that allow user apps to select a specific crypto device
to use (previous ioctls maintained for compatibility)
o overhaul crypto subsystem code to eliminate lots of cruft and hide
implementation details from drivers
o bring in numerous fixes from Michale Richardson/hifn; mostly for
795x parts
o add an optional mechanism for mmap'ing the hifn 795x public key h/w
to user space for use by openssl (not enabled by default)
o update crypto test tools to use new ioctl's and add cmd line options
to specify a device to use for tests
These changes will also enable much future work on improving the core
crypto subsystem; including proper load balancing and interposing code
between the core and drivers to dispatch small operations to the s/w
driver as appropriate.
These changes were instigated by the work of Michael Richardson.

arrangement that has no intrinsic internal knowledge of whether devices
it is given are truly multipath devices. As such, this is a simplistic
approach, but still a useful one.
The basic approach is to (at present- this will change soon) use camcontrol
to find likely identical devices and and label the trailing sector of the
first one. This label contains both a full UUID and a name. The name is
what is presented in /dev/multipath, but the UUID is used as a true
distinguishor at g_taste time, thus making sure we don't have chaos
on a shared SAN where everyone names their data multipath as "Fred".
The first of N identical devices (and N *may* be 1!) becomes the active
path until a BIO request is failed with EIO or ENXIO. When this occurs,
the active disk is ripped away and the next in a list is picked to
(retry and) continue with.
During g_taste events new disks that meet the match criteria for existing
multipath geoms get added to the tail end of the list.
Thus, this active/passive setup actually does work for devices which
go away and come back, as do (now) mpt(4) and isp(4) SAN based disks.
There is still a lot to do to improve this- like about 5 of the 12
recommendations I've received about it, but it's been functional enough
for a while that it deserves a broader test base.

Change all GEOM_APPLE anf GEOM_GPT options into GEOM_PART_APM

The ctlreq interface supports verbs to create and destroy
partitioning schemes on a disk; to add, delete and modify
partitions; and to commit or undo changes made.
We can't bind to a CPU which is not yet on-line, so add code that wait for
CPUs to go on-line before binding to them.

file are after snaplock, while other ffs device buffers are before
snaplock in global lock order. By itself, this could cause deadlock
when bdwrite() tries to flush dirty buffers on snapshotted ffs. If,
during the flush, COW activity for snapshot needs to allocate block
and ffs_alloccg() selects the cylinder group that is being written
by bdwrite(), then kernel would panic due to recursive buffer lock
acquision.
Avoid dealing with buffers in bdwrite() that are from other side of
snaplock divisor in the lock order then the buffer being written. Add
new BOP, bop_bdwrite(), to do dirty buffer flushing for same vnode in
the bdwrite(). Default implementation, bufbdflush(), refactors the code
from bdwrite(). For ffs device buffers, specialized implementation is
used.

read requests to its consumer. It has been developed to address
the problem of a horrible read performance of a 64k blocksize FS
residing on a RAID3 array with 8 data components, where a single
disk component would only get 8k read requests, thus effectively
killing disk performance under high load. Documentation will be
provided later. I'd like to thank Vsevolod Lobko for his bright
ideas, and Pawel Jakub Dawidek for helping me fix the nasty bug.
