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.
fcntl() and EOPNOTSUPP for flock(). POSIX specifies the weaker EINVAL
errno and the man page agrees.
Not fixed:
deadfs: always returns wrong EBADF
devfs, msdosfs: always return sometimes-wrong EINVAL
cd9660, fdesc, kernfs, portal: always return sometimes-wrong EOPNOTSUPP
procfs: always returns wrong EIO
mfs: panic?!
nfs: fudged
NetBSD uses a generic file system genfs to do return the sometimes-wrong
EOPNOTSUPP more consistently :-)(.

it 1138 times (:-() in casts and a few more times in declarations.
This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
SunOS and SCO. You can then even use the pipe as a cheap fifo stack
(yuck!). A semantic change also important (but not limited) to iBCS2
compatibility.

- Make a number of filesystems work again when they are statically compiled
(blush)
- FIFOs are no longer optional; ``options FIFO'' removed from distributed
config files.
