these at the moment, but applications that test for them will now
have a better chance of compiling.
I have intentionally omitted errnos that are only good for STREAMS,
since apps that use STREAMS won't compile anyway. The exception is
EPROTO, which was apparently intended for STREAMS, but worth having
anyway because Linux (mis)uses it for other things.
and therefore we need a way for ioctl handlers to run in that thread
in GEOM. Rather than invent a complicated registration system to
recognize which ioctl handler to use for a given ioctl, we still
schedule all ioctls down the tree as bio transactions but add a
special return code that means "call me directly" and have the
geom_dev layer do that.
Use this for all ioctls that make it as far as a diskdriver to
avoid any backwards compatibility problems.

This can be used to signal error situations which indicate that the
program logic or assumptions is deficient.
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
necessary to compile with _THREAD_SAFE defined. This means that people
will get thread-aware code whether they like it or not. This change
is required to allow a process to link against libpthread and libc
to use kernel threads (and prevent each thread from clobbering another
thread's errno just be doing a syscall).
This is bound to break some ports, but it is strictly allowed by ANSI C,
so anything that breaks as a result was already broken anyway 8-).
"Sorry".
low level ioctl routines instead of the magic number -1 so that
callers can distinguish it from ERESTART (which happens to be -1).
-1 meant that the ioctl was not handled at the called level.
ERESTART is normal when a sleeping ioctl is interrupted. ERESTART
got converted to ENOTTY instead of restarting the ioctl. Many
(most?) ioctls can not be restarted safely, but this is apparently
supposed to be handled by drivers converting ERESTART to EINTR.
I first saw this problem for TIOCDRAIN. Justin saw if for disk
ioctls.
Added missing parentheses.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
