the "disappearing subdisks" problem when new subdisks can't be created
due to some errors.
This is in fact an ugly hack, but a more elegant solution would probably
require a redesign of vinum in several places.

transfer size to the stripe size. This is a different
situation from reviving, where this limitation is necessary.
In initsd we're simply writing binary zeroes to the entire
disk, so the only effect of limiting the transfer is to slow
things down.
make sure we return any allocated space to the drive. This should get
rid of a number of inconsistencies (hopefully all) that have been seen
after configuration errors.
Correctly handle additional disks without BIOS partition tables.
Previously, vinum_scandisk stopped scanning additional disks for
native partitions after any good partition was found. This applies
to all platforms, but was a particular problem on systems without
BIOS partition tables.

vinum_scandisk: Don't handle NULL device pointers.
Only look at compatibility partition for i386. This
is a kludge which should go away once I have adequate
documentation for the New World Order.
Together, these fixes remove occasional error messages about
non-existent drives. They may also fix a number of problems that have
been reported without a PR.

to unload. This would cause a panic on the second resetconfig.
Start Vinum at boot time at SI_SUB_RAID, not SI_SUB_VINUM.
SI_SUB_VINUM was there first, but there's no real distinction, and
SI_SUB_RAID is a more neutral name.

of the struct plex, which tore apart the mutex linked lists when the
plex table was expanded. Now we maintain a pool of mutexes (currently
32) to be shared by all plexes. This is still a lot better than the
splhigh() method used in other architectures.

Correct some inaccurate and badly formatted comments.

crashed. Previously it was possible for the subdisk
to be up when the drive was down.
Change the way the plex lock mutexes work. Previously they were part

Maintain sector sizes for all objects, not just for drives. Some of

components of an object have different sector sizes.

Finally implement read policies. The previous "implementation" didn't
work because it referred to plexes which were almost invariably when
referred to. Instead, deprecate the "prefer" keyword for volumes
(though it's still there for the moment) and add a keyword "preferred"
to the plex definition. The relationship is like this:
Old:
vol foo ... prefer foo.p3
New:
plex foo.p3 volume foo preferred
print_config: Print "preferred" where appropriate.
No longer print "prefer" on volume config entries.

give_plex_to_volume: set preferred plex if specified on plex
definition entry. This involves adding a parameter to the function to
specify the preferred plex.
config_plex: Implement preferred keyword.
Add ioctl VINUM_READCONFIG which implements both the "read" and
"start" commands in vinum(8). Aim for marginally better error
messages when something goes wrong.
