I tried the same (with patches similar to the ones in this PR) the
year before last.  Then I lost interest in udf since it works worse
than cd9660 for my only application of backing up ffs file systems a
file at a time, and I don't have time to fix this.  (Sequential media
like DVDs needs large non-vnode-based read-ahead unless the drive does
it, but FreeBSD only does vnode-based read ahead.  This loses especially
for metadata.  cd9660 metadata is smaller and more packed than udf
metadata, so cd9660 loses less than udf from this.)
