MFC r254906 -- add SYSPD (real jbod) support to mfiutil

Add support to reconfigure a drive as SYSPD (real JBOD in LSI
terminology).

Adds command "mfiutil syspd <drive#>" to change a drive to SYSPD. Drive
will then be scanned/reported immediately as /dev/mfisyspdX by the host.

"mfiutil good <drive#>" clears SYSPD mode, remove /dev/mfisyspdX and
sets disk into UNCONFIGURED mode.

Tested on Dell H310 SAS/SATA RAID controller.

# 252093 22-Jun-2013 markj

MFC r250599:
Add a remark to the effect that a manually started relearn will always
result in the battery being completely drained, even in transparent learning
mode.


# 250482 10-May-2013 markj

MFC r249257:
Add support for getting and setting BBU properties related to battery
relearning. Specifically, add subcommands to mfiutil(8) which allow the
user to set the BBU and autolearn modes when the firmware supports it,
and add a subcommand which kicks off a battery relearn.

MFC r249258:
Switch to a 2-clause license.

# 225331 02-Sep-2011 jhb

Move the logic to parse volume cache commands out into a separate function
and use a loop so that multiple cache commands can be strung together on
the command line into a single update to the volume's properties.

# 221208 29-Apr-2011 jhb

Add a 'show progress' command that shows a summary of all in-progress

'drive process' and 'volume progress' commands.

# 220363 05-Apr-2011 jhb

Add the ability to manage the state of write caching when the battery
back-up is missing or dead. The current state of this field is reported
in 'mfiutil cache <volume>' and can be adjusted via
'mfiutil cache <volume> bad-bbu-write-cache <enable|disable>'. This
setting should generally be disabled to avoid data loss.

# 196200 13-Aug-2009 scottl

ntroduce mfiutil, a basic utility for managing LSI SAS-RAID & Dell PERC5/6
controllers. Controller, array, and drive status can be checked, basic
attributes can be changed, and arrays and spares can be created and deleted.
Controller firmware can also be flashed.

This does not replace MegaCLI, found in ports, as that is officially sanctioned
and supported by LSI and includes vastly more functionality. However, mfiutil
is open source and guaranteed to provide basic functionality, which can be
especially useful if you have a problem and can't get MegaCLI to work.
