1. Add new file "sys/kern/vfs_default.c" where default actions for
VOPs go. Implement proper defaults for ABORTOP, BWRITE, LEASE,
POLL, REVOKE and STRATEGY. Various stuff spread over the entire
tree belongs here.
2. Change VOP_BLKATOFF to a normal function in cd9660.
3. Kill VOP_BLKATOFF, VOP_TRUNCATE, VOP_VFREE, VOP_VALLOC. These
are private interface functions between UFS and the underlying
storage manager layer (FFS/LFS/MFS/EXT2FS). The functions now
live in struct ufsmount instead.
4. Remove a kludge of VOP_ functions in all filesystems, that did
nothing but obscure the simplicity and break the expandability.
If a filesystem doesn't implement VOP_FOO, it shouldn't have an
entry for it in its vnops table. The system will try to DTRT
if it is not implemented. There are still some cruft left, but
the bulk of it is done.
5. Fix another VCALL in vfs_cache.c (thanks Bruce!)
changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.
The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.
Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
library routine is changed.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

This is a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..
NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..
certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)
The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.
