NFS patch #6 is now available for -current. This patch has been
extensively tested with NFS and with FFS+softupdates and has not
screwed up yet, so I'm reasonably confident that it will not
scrap whole filesystems :-)

Please remember to back-out all prior patches before applying this one.
Note that the memory-zeroing code ( which is committed to -current ), is
*correct* and should not be disabled.
This patch is for CURRENT ONLY. Do not apply to -3.x unless you like
seeing computer equipment melt!
The only difference between patch #5 and patch #6 is that the VMIO
directory backing mods have been removed. These mods worked, but
appear to have resulted in an occassional softupdates panic during
'installworld'. It is more important for us to have a rock solid
implementation then majorly optimized implementation, so... The
patch will probably return later on when we figure out why it is
causing softupdates to panic.
Please post bug reports to -current or -hackers.
-Matt
