I'm working on stage 1/2 of a major buffer cache overhaul. It involves
modifying a lot of files so I would appreciate it if no commits were made
to the kernel for the next couple of days.
Stage 1 is to implement BIO chaining. This will significantly clean up
VOP_STRATEGY and BUF_STRATEGY and allow an I/O to be arbitrarily chained.
Stage 2 will be to convert all block numbers to 64 bit offsets in the
BUF/BIO code.
