The right place for this is geom_disk.c:g_disk_start() and the start
routines of the drivers which do not use geom_disk.

The easiest way to handle it would be to set a flag on the g_provider
saying "no more", have g_down spill the requests into a side queue
and when the driver is ready again, it calls some function which 
pulls the request out of the side queue again.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
