swap, ffs, lfs, raidframe, ccd and cgd. gpt(8) now defaults to
NetBSD ffs if no type is given, but previous FreeBSD types are
still recognized in the DKWEDGE_AUTODISCOVER code.
The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.

B_ERROR, set b_error instead. b_error is 'owned' by whoever completes
the I/O request.
config_handle_wedges() and read_disk_sectors(). On x86, handle_wedges()
is a thin wrapper for config_handle_wedges(). Share opendisk()
across architectures.
Add kernel code in support of specifying a root partition by wedge
name. E.g., root specifications "wedge:wd0a", "wedge:David's Root
Volume" are possible. (Patches for config(1) coming soon.)
In support of moving disks between architectures (esp. i386 <->
evbmips), I've written a routine convertdisklabel() that ensures
that the raw partition is at RAW_DISK by following these steps:
0 If we have read a disklabel that has a RAW_PART with
p_offset == 0 and p_size != 0, then use that raw partition.
1 If we have read a disklabel that has both partitions 'c'
and 'd', and RAW_PART has p_offset != 0 or p_size == 0,
but the other partition is suitable for a raw partition
(p_offset == 0, p_size != 0), then swap the two partitions
and use the new raw partition.
2 If the architecture's raw partition is 'd', and if there
is no partition 'd', but there is a partition 'c' that
is suitable for a raw partition, then copy partition 'c'
to partition 'd'.
3 Determine the drive's last sector, using either the
d_secperunit the drive reported, or by guessing (0x1fffffff).
If we cannot read the drive's last sector, then fail.
4 If we have read a disklabel that has no partition slot
RAW_PART, then create a partition RAW_PART. Make it span
the whole drive.
5 If there are fewer than MAXPARTITIONS partitions,
then "slide" the unsuitable raw partition RAW_PART, and
subsequent partitions, into partition slots RAW_PART+1
and subsequent slots. Create a raw partition at RAW_PART.
Make it span the whole drive.
The convertdisklabel() procedure can probably stand to be simplified,
but it ought to deal with all but an extraordinarily broken disklabel,
now.
i386: compiled and tested, sparc64: compiled, evbmips: compiled.
1 In dkopen(), do not leave dk_rawopens > 0 if the open ultimately
failed for some reason.
2 Add a dkdump() implementation by Martin Husemann for writing
system dumps to wedges. Tiny modifications by me. Lightly tested
on an evbmips box.
length separately.
Use this for foreign-endianess labels in wedge autodiscovery, and
calculate the checksum of those before we swap various fields in the
label.
- dkwedge_del(): Don't compute a minor number based on partitions, because
wedges don't have partitions. Just provide the unit number to vdevgone().
- dkopen(): Make sure we release all of the locks we've acquired should
opening the parent device fail.
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
- rather than embedding bufq_state in driver softc,
have a pointer to the former.
- move bufq related functions from kern/subr_disk.c to kern/subr_bufq.c.
- rename method to strategy for consistency.
- move some definitions which don't need to be exposed to the rest of kernel
from sys/bufq.h to sys/bufq_impl.h.
(is it better to move it to kern/ or somewhere?)
- fix some obvious breakage in dev/qbus/ts.c. (not tested)
so that config_detach() doesn't panic.
(XXX this points to some disagreement between config_attach_pseudo()
and config_detach() over the correct role of pseudo-device cfdata)
unit now. Don't pretend wedges have "partitions".
- Fix a buglet related to opening char and block devices of a wedge
at the same time.
- Add dkwedge_set_bootwedge(), that MD code can call to set booted_device
and booted_wedge appropriately when MD code knows the parent disk and
the start/size of the wedge that was booted from.
disklabels nested inside an MBR "NetBSD" or "386BSD" partition (first
one found is considered authoritative for the disk), or in one of several
known locations for various NetBSD platforms. It can read native or other-
endian disklabels (code is there, but not tested).
If you want to play with this, exercise caution; you can't currently
mountroot on a wedge (setroot() needs some work). Enabled by the
DKWEDGE_METHOD_BSDLABEL kernel option.
