We no longer need the deprecated copyback functionality now that
incorporating a used spare is automatic.

Copyback has always been an issue, as to do a copyback all IO to
the array had to be suspended, and so was very, very unlikely to
have been used in anything resembling a production system.

implement 32-bit compat support for raidframe.

convert several raidframe ioctls to be bitsize idempotent so that
they work the same in 32 and 64 bit worlds, allowing netbsd32 to
configure and query raid properly. remove useless 'row' in a few
places. add COMPAT_80 and put the old ioctls there.

raidframeio.h:
RAIDFRAME_TEST_ACC
- remove, unused
RAIDFRAME_GET_COMPONENT_LABEL
- convert to label not pointer to label
RAIDFRAME_CHECK_RECON_STATUS_EXT
RAIDFRAME_CHECK_PARITYREWRITE_STATUS_EXT
RAIDFRAME_CHECK_COPYBACK_STATUS_EXT
- convert to progress info not pointer to info
RAIDFRAME_GET_INFO
- version entirely.
raidframevar.h:
- rf_recon_req{} has row, flags and raidPtr removed (they're
not a useful part of this interface.)
- RF_Config_s{} and RF_DeviceConfig_s{} have numRow/rows removed.
- RF_RaidDisk_s{} is re-ordered slightly to fix alignment
padding - the actual data was already OK.
- InstallSpareTable() loses row argument

rf_compat32.c has code for RF_Config_s{} in 32 bit mode, used
by RAIDFRAME_CONFIGURE and RAIDFRAME_GET_INFO32.

rf_compat80.c has code for rf_recon_req{}, RF_RaidDisk_s{} and
RF_DeviceConfig_s{} to handle RAIDFRAME_FAIL_DISK,
RAIDFRAME_GET_COMPONENT_LABEL, RAIDFRAME_CHECK_RECON_STATUS_EXT,
RAIDFRAME_CHECK_PARITYREWRITE_STATUS_EXT,
RAIDFRAME_CHECK_COPYBACK_STATUS_EXT, RAIDFRAME_GET_INFO.

move several of the per-ioctl code blocks into separate functions.

add rf_recon_req_internal{} to replace old usage of global
rf_recon_req{} that had unused void * in the structure, ruining
it's 32/64 bit ABI.

add missing case for RAIDFRAME_GET_INFO50.

adjust raid tests to use the new .conf format, and add a case to
test the old method as well.

raidctl:
deal with lack of 'row' members in a couple of places.
fail request no longer takes row.
handle "START array" sections with just "numCol numSpare", ie
no "numRow" specified. for now, generate old-style configuration
but update raidctl.8 to specify the new style (keeping reference
to the old style.)

note that: RF_ComponentLabel_s::{row,num_rows} and
RF_SingleComponent_s::row are obsolete but not removed yet.

Finally commit the RAIDframe parity map Summer Of Code project.

Drastically reduces the amount of time spent rewriting parity after an
unclean shutdown by keeping better track of which regions might have had
outstanding writes. Enabled by default; can be disabled on a per-set
basis, or tuned, with the new raidctl(8) commands.

Discussed on tech-kern@ to a general air of approval; exhortations to
commit from mrg@, christos@, and others.

Thanks to Google for their sponsorship, oster@ for mentoring the
project, assorted developers for trying very hard to break it, and
probably more I'm forgetting.

add compat50 ioctls.

use new "defpseudodev" where appropriate, and remove dummy interface
attribute definitions which were only to trick config(8)

Fix lossage related to device_is_a() changes. Fix from cube@ (thanks!).
Tested by me.

merge ktrace-lwp.

The ugly wonderment of appropriately placed ASCII characters
formerly known as rf_threadstuff.c is no more.

rf_memchunk.c is no longer needed.

Centralize the RAIDframe config definitions.
