value (intmax_t) and boolean (int).
Based on that provide three functions:
- gctl_get_ascii()
- gctl_get_int()
- gctl_get_intmax()
- Hide gctl_get_param() function, as it is only used internally in
subr.c.
- Allow to provide argument name as (fmt, ...).
- Assert geom(8) bugs (missing argument is a geom(8) bug).
- Clean-up and simplify the code by using new functions and assumtions
(no more checking for missing argument).

ignore "no such file" errors only, which I wanted to do.
Because of this I ignored all other errors on dlopen(3) failure as well,
which isn't good.
Fix this situation by calling access(2) on library file first and ignore
only ENOENT error. This allows to report all the rest of dlopen(3) errors.

usage for a subcommand, so no 'usage' function has to be implemented
in class library.
- Bump version number as it breaks ABI, but don't provide backward
compatibility, because there are probably no external consumers of this
geom(8).
This allows to print more precise usage for standard commands and simplify
class libraries a bit.

warning on 64-bit platforms. Explicitly cast these values to int
to work around this issue, as these values are tend to be small.

This prevents from listing geoms like <name>.sync which can be confusing.
It still allows to show details about it by giving its name when listing.

new problem shows up: symblic links (<libname>.so) are created under
/usr/lib/ now, instead of under /lib/geom/ where geom(8) looks for them.
Introduce a workaround to fix this by teaching geom(8) to open libraries
via /lib/geom/<libname>.so.<major_number> instead of /lib/geom/<libname>.so.
GEOM classes. It works by loading a shared library via dlopen(3) mechanism
with class-specific code, it is also responsible for communicating with
GEOM via libgeom(3).
Per-class shared libraries are going to be stored in /lib/geom/ directory.
It provides also few standard commands like 'list', 'load' and 'unload'
for existing classes which aren't aware of geom(8).
More info will be send on freebsd-current@ mailing list.
