if the kernel module is built that way.
Remove the gross debug device/non-debug device hack used to recognize
whether the kernel module was in sync with the userland module.
Use userland expurgated versions of kernel structures, since that's
what the ioctls return now.
Remove vinum_perror.
main: Check kernel version with userland version in _vinum_conf. This
field is a constant which gets incremented every time the
kernel-userland interface changes. This enables vinum(8) to
check for the correct kernel version and to produce a useful
message if it doesn't match. For previous versions, which don't
have a version number, the length of the structure is different,
so we can recognize it via the EINVAL return from ioctl.
Supply count parameter to tokenize().
Change method of recognizing active devfs: replace devfs_is_active
with (complemented) no_devfs.
make_devices: remove references to devfs. If we're running devfs, we
don't need to call make_devices at all.
vinum_makedev (user command 'makedev'): Print a warning message if
devfs is running and don't do anything else.
userland tool:
Use the vfs.devfs.generation sysctl to test for devfs presense
(thanks phk!) when devfs is active it will not try to create the
device nodes in /dev and therefore will not complain about the
failure to do so.
Revert the change in the #define for VINUM_DIR in the kernel
header so that vinum can find its device nodes.
Replace perror() with vinum_perror() to print file/line when
DEVBUG is defined (not defined by default).
kernel:
Don't use the #define names for the "superdev" creation since
they will be prepended by "/dev/" (based on VINUM_DIR), instead
use string constants.
Create both debug and non-debug "superdev" nodes in the devfs.

Allow stopping long-running commands with ^C (well, SIGINTR).
Previously this would stop the program.
replaces an older attempt to silence vinum(8) when started in
single-user mode.
Add entries for vinum_raid[45].
Replace the preprocessor variable name CDEV_MAJOR with
VINUM_CDEV_MAJOR.
continue_revive: Set the proc title to 'reviving <sdname>' so that it
can be recognized in a ps list.

Add key pairs for 'mv' and 'move' (a synonym for 'mv'). Required for
the move command code submitted by Marius Bendiksen

make_devices: Don't create symlinks for drives if they are only
referenced. Previously, spurious symlinks appeared in the current
directory.

No longer create character devices, now that there is no difference.
Make the devices as character devices, not block devices.
Add function definition for readpol command.
Rewrite make_devices with a view to incremental making. In the
process, effectively kill off plex-bound subdisk device numbers.
the device numbers are now minor number only, so that we can still
compare them after dev_t has turned into a blob.

the wrong module can cause confusion, including loading both versions

Extend 'start' command: if used without any parameters, vinum scans
all disks known to devstat for vinum drives and reads their
configuration.
