- Improved locking and destruction process to fix crashes.
- Improved "automatic" configuration method to make it consistent and safe
by reading metadata back from all specified paths after writing to one.
- Added provider size check to reduce chance of ordering conflict with
other GEOM classes.
- Added "manual" configuration method without using on-disk metadata.
- Added "add" and "remove" commands to allow manage paths manually.
- Failed paths are no longer dropped from geom, but only marked as FAIL
and excluded from I/O operations.
- Automatically restore failed paths when all others paths are marked
as failed, for example, because of device-caused (not transport) errors.
- Added "fail" and "restore" commands to manually control FAIL flag.
- geom is now destroyed on last path disconnection.
- Added optional Active/Active mode support. Unlike Active/Passive
mode, load evenly distributed between all working paths. If supported by
the device, it allows to significantly improve performance, utilizing
bandwidth of all paths. It is controlled by -A option during creation.
Disabled by default now.
- Improved `status` and `list` commands output.

This allows a hostap to specify to a set of stations that they
should not transmit for a certain period of time after each
beacon interval has expired. This is used when searching for
radar pulses or general interference.

Remove obsolete code which uses DIOCSMBR ioctl.
When writing MBR first check that GEOM_MBR is available, if it is not
available, then try write MBR directly to provider. If both are failed,
then recommend to use gpart(8).

fields, but user could specify some of those fields when edits disklabel
with `bsdlabel -e`. But without -A flag these fields might be
overwritten with default values from the virgin disklabel.
So, don't overwrite such fields if they are not zero. Also add checks
to prevent creating disklabel with less than DEFPARTITIONS and more
than MAXPARTITIONS partitions.

These tools declare global variables without using the static keyword,
even though their use is limited to a single C-file, or without placing
an extern declaration of them in the proper header file.

with older FreeBSD versions:
- Add -V option to 'geli init' to specify version number. If no -V is given
the most recent version is used.
- If -V is given don't allow to use features not supported by this version.
- Print version in 'geli list' output.
- Update manual page and add table describing which GELI version is
supported by which FreeBSD version, so one can use it when preparing GELI
device for older FreeBSD version.
