This code does not imply that SBus cards work yet. They hang for me.
But I can't netboot the latest snapshot on my ultra1e, and things
hang at bus_setup_intr time.
Since I'm offline for a while, I thought I'd toss this in in case somebody
else who has a bit better luck wants to fart around with it. Please try
and wait until I get back to check things in.

I think it's a waste of time to keep mod'ing imported GCC sources for this
since only three procedures are involved).

methodology similar to the vm_map_entry splay and the VM splay that Alan
Cox is working on. Extensive testing has appeared to have shown no
increase in overhead.
Disadvantages
Dirties more cache lines during lookups.
Not as fast as a hash table lookup (but still N log N and optimal
when there is locality of reference).
Advantages
vnode->v_dirtyblkhd is now perfectly sorted, making fsync/sync/filesystem
syncer operate more efficiently.
I get to rip out all the old hacks (some of which were mine) that tried
to keep the v_dirtyblkhd tailq sorted.
The per-vnode splay tree should be easier to lock / SMPng pushdown on
vnodes will be easier.
This commit along with another that Alan is working on for the VM page
global hash table will allow me to implement ranged fsync(), optimize
server-side nfs commit rpcs, and implement partial syncs by the
filesystem syncer (aka filesystem syncer would detect that someone is
trying to get the vnode lock, remembers its place, and skip to the
next vnode).
Note that the buffer cache splay is somewhat more complex then other splays
due to special handling of background bitmap writes (multiple buffers with
the same lblkno in the same vnode), and B_INVAL discontinuities between the
old hash table and the existence of the buffer on the v_cleanblkhd list.

implemented using a new VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl. Although it is possible
to implement something like this by VT_SETMODEing to VT_PROCESS and
never releasing the vty, that method has a number of downsides, the
biggest of which is that some program has to stay resident for the
lock to be in effect.
