Well, it hit again.  And it's not only an ahc(4) issue, as it seems.

I was rm -rf'ing a large directory hierarchy on an additional disk,
and thought about speeding it up by doing

	mount -u -o async /dev/sd3e /mnt1/usr

while the rm was running.

This yielded on the console:

============================================================================
WARNING: R/W mount of /dev/sd3e denied.  Filesystem is not clean - run fsck.

worm0(ahc1:0:0): Deferred Error: UNIT ATTENTION asc: 29,0
worm0(ahc1:0:0):  Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred

panic: vref used where vget required

syncing disks... 50 50 42 32 21 9 done

dumping to dev 401, offset 241664

dump 32
============================================================================

...and there it was sitting, waiting for me to hit reset.  No
coredumps on 2.2-stable, see my PR.

I forgot to boot the DDB kernel at the last reboot, but i think the
panic message stands for itself.

It's probably a little bogus that a R/W upgrade mount was denied, but
well, i could have lived with this.  I have no idea why worm0 (which
is on the same bus as sd3) caught a UNIT ATTN, nor why this was
noticed just at that point (/dev/worm0 had been mounted all the time).
Maybe someone was accessing the CD-ROM just in this moment over the
network, but i doubt this.  (The Plasmon has a strong tendency for
deferred errors, for whatever reason.)

It would be great if we could fix the `vref' panic at least, before
2.2.5 will ship.
