Disallow attaching preloaded memory disks via ioctl.
- The feature is dangerous because the kernel code didn't check validity of the memory address provided from user space. - It seems that mdconfig(8) never really supported attaching preloaded memory disks. - Preloaded memory disks are automatically attached during md(4) initialization. Thus there shouldn't be much use for the feature. PR: kern/169683 Discussed on: freebsd-hackers
