Matthew Dillon 447deba3da Fix a bug in the block number calculation for VN disks with a sector
size != 512 that are configured without a label.  The bug should only
    have effected swap-backed VN mounts without a label.

    Add several major features to VN.  In the kernel we add a swap
    pre-reservation capability, which can be used to guarentee seek
    consistency for swap-backed VN nodes.  This also incidently allows
    a swap-backed VN filesystem to be recovered after a crash in some
    cases (if the same swap blocks happen to be reserved).

    We also add a number of new options to vnconfig which do the work
    of pre-zeroing or creating/truncating/extending a file which greatly
    simplifies using VN in a file-backed configuration.

    Add FreeBSD CVS label to sys/sys/vnioctl.h, as well as a new ioctl
    flag for the swap pre-reservation feature.
