 *
 * Main control module for geom-based disk schedulers ('sched').
 *
 * USER VIEW
 * A 'sched' node is typically inserted transparently between
 * an existing provider pp and its original geom gp
 *
 *	[pp --> gp  ..]
 *
 * using the command "geom sched insert <provider>" and
 * resulting in the following topology
 *
 *	[pp --> sched_gp --> cp]   [new_pp --> gp ... ]
 *
 * Deletion "geom sched destroy <provider>.sched." restores the
 * original chain. The normal "geom sched create <provide>"
 * is also supported.
 *
 * INTERNALS
 * Internally, the 'sched' uses the following data structures
 *
 *   geom{}         g_sched_softc{}      g_gsched{}
 * +----------+    +---------------+   +-------------+
 * |  softc *-|--->| sc_gsched   *-|-->|  gs_init    |
 * |  ...     |    |               |   |  gs_fini    |
 * |          |    | [ hash table] |   |  gs_start   |
 * +----------+    |               |   |  ...        |
 *                 |               |   +-------------+
 *                 |               |
 *                 |               |     g_*_softc{}
 *                 |               |   +-------------+
 *                 | sc_data     *-|-->|             |
 *                 +---------------+   |  algorithm- |
 *                                     |  specific   |
 *                                     +-------------+
 *
 * A g_sched_softc{} is created with a "geom sched insert" call.
 * In turn this instantiates a specific scheduling algorithm,
 * which sets sc_gsched to point to the algorithm callbacks,
 * and calls gs_init() to create the g_*_softc{} .
 * The other callbacks (gs_start, gs_next, ...) are invoked
 * as needed
 *
 * g_sched_softc{} is defined in g_sched.h and mostly used here;
 * g_gsched{}, and the gs_callbacks, are documented in gs_scheduler.h;
 * g_*_softc{} is defined/implemented by each algorithm (gs_*.c)
 *
 * DATA MOVING
 * When a bio is received on the provider, it goes to the
 * g_sched_start() which calls gs_start() to initially queue it;
 * then we call g_sched_dispatch() that loops around gs_next()
 * to select zero or more bio's to be sent downstream.
 *
 * g_sched_dispatch() can also be called as a result of a timeout,
 * e.g. when doing anticipation or pacing requests.
 *
 * When a bio comes back, it goes to g_sched_done() which in turn
 * calls gs_done(). The latter does any necessary housekeeping in
 * the scheduling algorithm, and may decide to call g_sched_dispatch()
 * to send more bio's downstream.
 *
 * If an algorithm needs per-flow queues, these are created
 * calling gs_init_class() and destroyed with gs_fini_class(),
 * and they are also inserted in the hash table implemented in
 * the g_sched_softc{}
 *
 * If an algorithm is replaced, or a transparently-inserted node is
 * removed with "geom sched destroy", we need to remove all references
 * to the g_*_softc{} and g_sched_softc from the bio's still in
 * the scheduler. g_sched_forced_dispatch() helps doing this.
 * XXX need to explain better.
