Bring in geom_sched, support for scheduling disk I/O requests
in a device independent manner. Also include an example anticipatory
scheduler, gsched_rr, which gives very nice performance improvements
in presence of competing random access patterns.

This is joint work with Fabio Checconi, developed last year
and presented at BSDCan 2009. You can find details in the
README file or at
