Vinum has not been (and will not be by 15 October) converted. There
are several reasons for this:
1. The Vinum LKM was committed two minutes before a deadline on 15
September.
2. At this point, there had been no mention that LKMs were not
supported in 3.0, nor that the kernel would be ELF.
3. At this point, no LKMs had been converted to KLDs.
4. The current ELF kernel doesn't support ddb, so it's impractical to
develop code on this platform.
