I was looking over the Architecture Handbook in general as part of
looking into the SYSINIT PR I'm working on.

There are a few sections marked with * - e.g. "*UFS", "*AFS".  Are
those supposed to be markers for sections someone is working on, or
are they sections someone wishes someone was working on?

The divisions for UFS and AFS don't quite make sense IMO.  Might
be better to just have a chapter "Filesystem Support", make the
first part the infrastructure that's common to all of the filesystems
(mount issues, buffer cache, vnodes), and then specific sub-sections
for the different filesystem types.  Especially now with "What is
UFS?" being even more complicated than before (since there are now
two things that are UFS, not to mention UFS itself had been more or
less FFS before, ...).
