  Modified files:
    sys/kern             vfs_subr.c 
  Log:
  In vfs_msync(), test to see if the vnode being examined is "interesting"
  (ie: it has a vm_object attached and is marked as OBJ_MIGHTBEDIRTY) before
  attempting to lock it.  This should reduce the cpu hit that is incurred
  when doing a sync(2) and when the syncer process is doing the 30-second
  writeback of dirty mmap() data to disk.  Skip this speedup if we are
  doing an unmount() to be sure to get everything - we can afford to
  occasionally miss a msync while the system is running, but not at unmount.
  
  I'm not sure about the VXLOCK and MNT_WAIT case, it seems a bit odd to skip
  doing a page_clean at unmount time just because a vnode is VXLOCKed, but
  that's what was being done before...
