different things from this commit: + More devices. Devices that were previously ignored are now present. + Faster device scanning. "There is no try, only Do" -- f_device_try() is no longer the basis of device scanning as GEOM provides [nearly] all devices (doesn't provide network devices). + More information available as non-root. Usually you have to be root to do things like taste filesystems, and that limits the amount of information available to non-root users; with GEOM, we see all even running unprivileged as the brunt of information (except for so- called ``dangerously dedicated'' file systems) is represented by the `kern.geom.confxml' sysctl(8) MIB. NB: Only really useful for external scripts that use the API and run as non-root; where this code is used in bsdconfig(8) and bsdinstall(8) you are running as root so can detect even ``dangerously dedicated'' file systems that are not present in GEOM; e.g., no PART class for a DOS filesystem written directly to disk without partition table). + No more use of legacy tools such as diskinfo(8) to get disk capacity or fdisk(8) to see partitions.
