7be2d30077 In the words of the submitter:
---------
Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it.  This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.

Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

Some NFS client testing courtesy of Patrik Kudo.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp.  vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns.  These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.

812d997c85 Get socket and locking stuff by including <sys/socket.h> and <sys/lock.h>,
not by including <sys/mount.h> and depending on namespace pollution in it.

4acf4a68c9 When building in in the kernel rather than as a LKM, don't compile
all the LKM load/unload junk, and don't forget to register the SYSINIT
so that the cdevsw entry is attached.

BTW: I think the way it builds it's /dev nodes on the fly as an LKM with
vnode ops is kinda cute - I guess that'd be one way to solve the devfs
persistance problems.. :-)  (ie: have the drivers make the nodes in /dev
on disk directly if they are missing, but leave them alone if present).

1ee25934a9 Make this compile.. There are some unpleasing hacks in here.
A major unifdef session is sorely tempting but would destroy any remaining
chance of tracking the original sources.
