The giant vm lock is pretty stable.  The patch is here:
  http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/vm.diff

It makes it through a -j128 buildworld over FFS, and seems
ok on NFS.  Other filesystems will need a bit of work.

I've cc'd some people directly.
John, because you seem to be the SMPng lead right now.
Jake, because you've taken an interest and been very helpful
  with this already
Boris because of the VFS interaction.

I'd appreciate getting your viewpoints on the patch.

I'll having timing info on it RSN.

-Alfred
