This is what we came here for: Hang dev_t's from their cdevsw,
refcount cdevsw and dev_t and generally keep track of things a lot
better than we used to:
Hold a cdevsw reference around all entrances into the device driver,
this will be necessary to safely determine when we can unload driver
code.
Hold a dev_t reference while the device is open.
KASSERT that we do not enter the driver on a non-referenced dev_t.
Remove old D_NAG code, anonymous dev_t's are not a problem now.
When destroy_dev() is called on a referenced dev_t, move it to
dead_cdevsw's list. When the refcount drops, free it.
Check that cdevsw->d_version is correct. If not, set all methods
to the dead_*() methods to prevent entrance into driver. Print
warning on console to this effect. The device driver may still
explode if it is also incompatible with newbus, but in that case
we probably didn't get this far in the first place.

You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'
as the new kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs
structure, but an old kernel will not know about the new system
calls that support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel
after a `make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a
statfs system call to fail with a bad system call.

track of the number of dirty buffers held by a vnode. When a
bdwrite is done on a buffer, check the existing number of dirty
buffers associated with its vnode. If the number rises above
vfs.dirtybufthresh (currently 90% of vfs.hidirtybuffers), one
of the other (hopefully older) dirty buffers associated with
the vnode is written (using bawrite). In the event that this
approach fails to curb the growth in it the vnode's number of
dirty buffers (due to soft updates rollback dependencies),
the more drastic approach of doing a VOP_FSYNC on the vnode
is used. This code primarily affects very large and actively
written files such as snapshots. This change should eliminate
hanging when taking snapshots or doing background fsck on
very large filesystems.
Hopefully, one day it will be possible to cache filesystem
metadata in the VM cache as is done with file data. As it
stands, only the buffer cache can be used which limits total
metadata storage to about 20Mb no matter how much memory is
available on the system. This rather small memory gets badly
thrashed causing a lot of extra I/O. For example, taking a
snapshot of a 1Tb filesystem minimally requires about 35,000
write operations, but because of the cache thrashing (we only
have about 350 buffers at our disposal) ends up doing about
237,540 I/O's thus taking twenty-five minutes instead of four
if it could run entirely in the cache.
