Currently bread()-ing through device vnode with
(1) VMIO enabled,
(2) bo_bsize != DEV_BSIZE
(3) more than 1 block
results in data being incorrectly cached.
So instead a more common approach of using a vnode belonging to fs is now
employed.
Also, prevent attempt to bread more than MAXBSIZE bytes because of
adjustments made to account for offset that doesn't start on block
boundary.
Add expanded comments to explain the calculations.
Also drop unused inline function while here.

- Add a separate set of vnode operations that inherits from the fifo ops
and use it for fifo nodes.
- Add a VOP_SETATTR() method that allows setting the size (by silently
ignoring the requests) of fifos. This is to allow O_TRUNC opens of
fifo devices (e.g. I/O redirection in shells using ">").
- Add a VOP_PRINT() handler while I'm here.
This way we may support multiple structures in v_data vnode field within
one file system without using black magic.
Vnode-to-file-handle should be VOP in the first place, but was made VFS
operation to keep interface as compatible as possible with SUN's VFS.
BTW. Now Solaris also implements vnode-to-file-handle as VOP operation.
VFS_VPTOFH() was left for API backward compatibility, but is marked for
removal before 8.0-RELEASE.
