Kernel side of disk signature based BIOS->BSD disk number mapping
(a.k.a checksumming). This is a solution for the otherwise hard problem of knowing what disk a certain BIOS geometry is for. PC BIOSes does not tell anything about where a certain disk is physically attached, and the ordering of drives in the BIOS area is not deterministic. for the moment it is not enabled in any kernel config file, but that will come RSN.
