The patch below is a workaround for the "bouncing geom" problem that
occurs primarily with labels.  Say da0p1 and da1p1 are labeled "mir0"
and "mir1" respectively, so they exist both as /dev/da[01]p1 and as
/dev/gpt/mir[01].  Create a mirror on top of gpt/mir[01], then stop the
mirror.  GEOM won't retaste gpt/root[01], but it will see and taste
da[01]p1, and the mirror will immediately reappear.  The patch adds a
sysctl which can be used to temporarily disable tasting so you can stop
the mirror and safely disconnect the disks.
