Extend it with a strategy method.
Add bufstrategy() which do the usual VOP_SPECSTRATEGY/VOP_STRATEGY
song and dance.
Rename ibwrite to bufwrite().
Move the two NFS buf_ops to more sensible places, add bufstrategy
to them.
Add inlines for bwrite() and bstrategy() which calls through
buf->b_bufobj->b_ops->b_{write,strategy}().
Replace almost all VOP_STRATEGY()/VOP_SPECSTRATEGY() calls with bstrategy().
This includes a modified form of some code from Thomas Moestl (tmm@)

that use it. Specifically, vop_stdlock uses the lock pointed to by
vp->v_vnlock. By default, getnewvnode sets up vp->v_vnlock to
reference vp->v_lock. Filesystems that wish to use the default
do not need to allocate a lock at the front of their node structure
(as some still did) or do a lockinit. They can simply start using
vn_lock/VOP_UNLOCK. Filesystems that wish to manage their own locks,
but still use the vop_stdlock functions (such as nullfs) can simply
replace vp->v_vnlock with a pointer to the lock that they wish to
have used for the vnode. Such filesystems are responsible for
setting the vp->v_vnlock back to the default in their vop_reclaim
routine (e.g., vp->v_vnlock = &vp->v_lock).
In theory, this set of changes cleans up the existing filesystem
lock interface and should have no function change to the existing
locking scheme.

1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which

enable easy access to the hash chain stats. The raw prefixed versions
dump an integer array to userland with the chain lengths. This cheats
and calls it an array of 'struct int' rather than 'int' or sysctl -a
faithfully dumps out the 128K array on an average machine. The non-raw
versions return 4 integers: count, number of chains used, maximum chain
length, and percentage utilization (fixed point, multiplied by 100).
The raw forms are more useful for analyzing the hash distribution, while
the other form can be read easily by humans and stats loggers.
Allow the initial hash value to be passed in, as the examples do.
Incrementally hash in the dvp->v_id (using the official api) rather than
add it. This seems to help power-of-two predictable filename trees
where the filenames repeat on a power-of-two cycle and the directory trees
have power-of-two components in it. The simple add then mask was causing
things like 12000+ entry collision chains while most other entries have
between 0 and 3 entries each. This way seems to improve things.
Make the name cache hash as well as the nfsnode hash use it.
As a special tweak, create an unsigned version of register_t. This allows
us to use a special tweak for the 64 bit versions that significantly
speeds up the i386 version (ie: int64 XOR int64 is slower than int64
XOR int32).
The code layout is a little strange for the string function, but I was
able to get between 5 to 10% improvement over the original version I
started with. The layout affects gcc code generation choices and this way
was fastest on x86 and alpha.
Note that 'CPUTYPE=p3' etc makes a fair difference to this. It is
around 45% faster with -march=pentiumpro on a p6 cpu.

This improves hash coverage a *massive* amount. We were seeing one
set of machines that were using 0.84% of their 131072 entry nfsnode
hash buckets with maximum chain lengths of up to ~500 entries. The
machine was spending nearly 100% of its time in 'system'.
A test with this has pushed the coverage from a few perCent up to 91%
utilization with a max chain length of 11.

occur due to np->n_size potentially changing if nfs_getcacheblk()
blocks in nfs_write().
Second, under -current we must supply the proper bufsize when obtaining
buffers that straddle the EOF, but due to the fact that np->n_size can
change out from under us it is possible that we may specify the wrong
buffer size and wind up truncating dirty data written by another
process.
Both problems are solved by implementing nfs_rslock(), which allows us
to lock around sensitive buffer cache operations such as those that
occur when appending to a file.
It is believed that this race is responsible for causing dirtyoff/dirtyend
and (in stable) validoff/validend to exceed the buffer size. Therefore
we have now added a warning printf for the dirtyoff/end case in current.
However, we have introduced a new problem which we need to fix at some
point, and that is that soft or intr NFS mounts may become
uninterruptable from the point of view of process A which is stuck waiting
on rslock while process B is stuck doing the rpc. To unstick process A,
process B would have to be interrupted first.

in nfs_vinvalbuf() or the nfs_removeit(), we can have the nfsnode reallocated

This is not a cheap fix, but it'll do until the nfsnodes get reference
