checking and freeing a different pointer that may or may not have been assigned the same value. This should fix panics under load that were recently reported.

Don't free meo until we're finished using it.

Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be initialized to D_VERSION. Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.

Device megapatch 1/6:

Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch. A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few because they still (ab)use their major number.

Change the disk(9) API in order to make device removal more robust.

Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device were not immediately disappearing. Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create() is called. Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device drivers. Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements have been carried out at the same time: The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect, report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future. Manual page update to follow shortly.
