Making them u_int improves the chance of atomic updates to them,

they are equal or not, this is not an issue.

It is very important that the stuff below us plays nice and don't
overlook a couple of outstanding bio's, because until they remember

in this case so any offending drivers can be fixed.

As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.

because we hit a Giant assertion in the free(9) processing if we
free something larger than 64k.

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.
I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.

Retire the "d_dump_t" and use the "dumper_t" type instead.
Dumper_t takes a void * as first arg which is more general than the
dev_t taken by d_dump_t. (Remember: we could have net-dumpers if
somebody wrote us one!)
Define the convention for GEOM controlled disk devices to be that the
first argument to the dumper function is the struct disk pointer.
Change device drivers accordingly.
Change the argument to disk_destroy() to be the same struct disk * as
disk_create() takes.
This enables drivers to ignore the (now) bogus dev_t which disk_create()
returns.
lower extremities.
Setting bit 4 in debugflags (sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16) will
allow any open to succeed on rank#1 providers. This will generally
correspond to the physical disk devices: ad0, da0, md0 etc.
This fundamentally violates the mechanics of GEOMs autoconfiguration,
and is only provided as a debugging facility, so obviously error
reports on GEOM where this bit is or has been set will not be
accepted.
disk I/O processing.
The intent is that the disk driver in its hardware interrupt
routine will simply schedule the bio on the task queue with
a routine to finish off whatever needs done.
The g_up thread will then schedule this routine, the likely
outcome of which is a biodone() which queues the bio on
g_up's regular queue where it will be picked up and processed.
Compared to the using the regular taskqueue, this saves one
contextswitch.
Change our scheduling of the g_up and g_down queues to be water-tight,
at the cost of breaking the userland regression test-shims.
