Modified files:
sys/geom geom_bsd.c
Log:
Extensively rework the geom_bsd method, put a lot of comments in, betting
that this will make people use this for their future copy&paste operations.
Rework the detection of raw-disk offsets in disklabels. This actually
unearthed a number of bugs in the (now) previous version.
Also accept labels which don't have a magic RAW_PART, provided they don't
confuse us too much.
Change the order of our sanity-checks on labels found on disks to be more
robust.
Check against MAXPARTITIONS in our sanity-check and reject disklabels
we cannot cope with.
Create new g_bsd_modify() function to implment disklabel modifying
ioctls.
Implement DIOCSDINFO and DIOCWDINFO with the provision that the latter
still not writes your change back to disk. I didn't have the nerves
for that yet.
In the start routine, use g_call_me() for complex ioctls to prevent
sleeping.
