Justin T. Gibbs 471e5fa096 John Dyson's patches (and a few from me too) to LFS to use a different
buffering scheme and make it more in tune with FreeBSD's vfs_bio
implementation.  The filesystem seems fairly stable, but I wouldn't recommend
it to anyone not willing to experience problems.  This is very green code and
has the limitation that YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE LFS PARTITION MOUNTED AT A TIME.

What LFS is good for:

	Non fsynced writes	FASTER THAN FFS
	Large deletions		Increadibly fast

Reads are a little bit slower than FFS right now, but that is a factor of
how under optimized this code is.  LFS should in theory perform at least as
well as FFS under fsync (iozone) type loads, and this is what I'm currently
working on.

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and        `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK!  Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.  The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation!  Thanks!

Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys.  To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice.  Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.
