Might be better to mount /usr/obj async only, since it can always be
brought to a known state w/o loss of data with newfs.  /usr/src can be
much harder to do that with if you have local mods...

Also, mounting /usr/src async doesn't seem to buy much in the make
world stone.  It does help to mount /usr/src noatime, however.
