from the beginning of the media (as if device has single infinite stripe).
This gives partitioning tools information, required to guess better
partition alignment, in case if hardware doesn't report it's stripe size.
For example, it should give disklabel info about odd offset made by fdisk.

- For SSDs use TRIM feature of DATA SET MANAGEMENT command, as defined by
ACS-2 specification working draft.
- For CompactFlash use CFA ERASE command, same as ad(4) does.
With this patch, `newfs -E /dev/ada1` was able to restore write speed of
my heavily weared OCZ Vertex SSD (firmware 1.4) up to the initial level
for the most part of it's capacity. Previous 1.3 firmware, even reportiong
TRIM capabilty bit set, was not working, reporting ABORT error for every
DSM command.
I have no idea whether it is normal, but for some reason it takes 200ms
to handle any TRIM command on this drive, that was making delete extremely
slow. But TRIM command is able to accept long list of LBAs and the length of
that list seems doesn't affect it's execution time. Implemented request
clusting algorithm allowed me to rise delete rate up to reasonable numbers,
when many parallel DELETE requests running.
- Instead of measuring last request execution time for each drive and
choosing one with smallest time, use averaged number of requests, running
on each drive. This information is more accurate and timely. It allows to
distribute load between drives in more even and predictable way.
- For each drive track offset of the last submitted request. If new request
offset matches previous one or close for some drive, prefer that drive.
It allows to significantly speedup simultaneous sequential reads.

for this is that sometimes, other GEOM classes attach to these device

It is valid for an on-disk GPT header to report a header size which is
greater than 92 bytes. Previously, we would read in the sector and copy
only the 92 bytes that we know how to deal with before calculating the
checksum for comparison. This meant that when we did the checksum, we
overshot the buffer and took in random memory, so the checksum would fail.
We now determine the size of the header and allocate enough space to
preserve the entire on-disk contents. This allows us to be correctly
calculate the checksum and be able to modify and write the header back
to the disk, while preserving data that we might not understand.

depend on on-disk metadata. This was we won't attach to providers that are used
by other classes. For example we don't want to configure partitions on da0 if
it is part of gmirror, what we really want is partitions on mirror/foo.
During regular work it works like this: if provider is open for writing a class
receives the spoiled event from GEOM and detaches, once provider is closed the
taste event is send again and class can rediscover its metadata if it is still
there. This doesn't work that way when new class arrives, because GEOM gives
all existing providers for it to taste, also those open for writing. Classes
have to decided on their own if they want to deal with such providers (eg.
geom_dev) or not (classes modified by this commit).

The system hostname is now stored in prison0, and the global variable
"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex. Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system. The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL. The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.
The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.

the VFS. Now all the VFS_* functions and relating parts don't want the
context as long as it always refers to curthread.
In some points, in particular when dealing with VOPs and functions living
in the same namespace (eg. vflush) which still need to be converted,
pass curthread explicitly in order to retain the old behaviour.
Such loose ends will be fixed ASAP.
While here fix a bug: now, UFS_EXTATTR can be compiled alone without the
UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART option.
VFS KPI is heavilly changed by this commit so thirdy parts modules needs
to be recompiled. Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such
situation.
This is necessary for two reasons:
1) In order to avoid collisions with the use of a BIOs flags set by a consumer
or a provider
2) Because GV_BIO_DONE was used to mark a BIO as done, not enough flags was
available, so the consumer flags of a BIO had to be misused in order to
support enough flags. The new queue makes it possible to recycle the
GV_BIO_DONE flag into GV_BIO_GROW.
As a consequence, gvinum will now work with any other GEOM class under it or
on top of it.
- Use bio_pflags for storing internal flags on downgoing BIOs, as the requests
appear to come from a consumer of a gvinum volume. Use bio_cflags only for
cloned BIOs.
- Move gv_post_bio to be used internally for maintenance requests.
- Remove some cases where flags where set without need.

o PC98 uses 32-bit block numbers. Limit the scheme to 2^32-1

The work have been under testing and fixing since then, and it is mature enough
to be put into HEAD for further testing.
A lot have changed in this time, and here are the most important:
- Gvinum now uses one single workerthread instead of one thread for each
volume and each plex. The reason for this is that the previous scheme was
very complex, and was the cause of many of the bugs discovered in gvinum.
Instead, gvinum now uses one worker thread with an event queue, quite
similar to what used in gmirror.
- The rebuild/grow/initialize/parity check routines no longer runs in
separate threads, but are run as regular I/O requests with special flags.
This made it easier to support mounted growing and parity rebuild.
- Support for growing striped and raid5-plexes, meaning that one can extend the
volumes for these plex types in addition to the concat type. Also works while
the volume is mounted.
- Implementation of many of the missing commands from the old vinum:
attach/detach, start (was partially implemented), stop (was partially
implemented), concat, mirror, stripe, raid5 (shortcuts for creating volumes
with one plex of these organizations).
- The parity check and rebuild no longer goes between userland/kernel, meaning
that the gvinum command will not stay and wait forever for the rebuild to
finish. You can instead watch the status with the list command.
- Many problems with gvinum have been reported since 5.x, and some has been hard
to fix due to the complicated architecture. Hopefully, it should be more
stable and better handle edge cases that previously made gvinum crash.
- Failed drives no longer disappears entirely, but now leave behind a dummy
drive that makes sure the original state is not forgotten in case the system
is rebooted between drive failures/swaps.
- Update manpage to reflect new commands and extend it with some examples.

so that the dot (".") is not used to separate two numbers (which kind of
looks like the whole is a decimal number). Use "+" instead, which also

decimal to hexadecimal notation, simply for aesthetic reasons and future

In this way the functionaility is generic and thus usable

2. Have g_part handle said ioctl through the devalias method,
so that it's under control of the scheme itself. By design
the alias will not be created for newly added partitions.
