    kernel - Hold vm_token() for certain buf/bio/vm_page interactions
    
    * Hold the vm_token when messing around with page valid and dirty bits
      in buffer cache operations.  Such race conditions are possible but would
      be very rare.
    
    * Fix inconsistent use of bio2.bio_offset when swapcache intercepts an
      I/O operation.  When this case occurs the normal filesystem VOP_STRATEGY
      function will not be called and any assumption that bio2.bio_offset
      will represent a block device offset will be invalid.
    
      To deal with this case swapcache will re-set bio_offset to NOOFFSET.
      Filesystems use this value to determine that no block device offset
      has been cached for a logical file block.
