"FSS_UNLINK_ON_CREATE" to unlink the backing store before
the snapshot gets created.
With this change dump(8) no longer dumps the zero-sized, but named
snapshot it is working on. Same applies to fsck_ffs(8).
- Add FSSIOFSET and FSSIOFGET ioctl() to set/get the flags.
- Add FSS_UNCONFIG_ON_CLOSE flag to unconfigure the snapshot device
on the last close.

- Not enabled by default. Needs kernel option FFS_SNAPSHOT.
- Change parameters of ffs_blkfree.
- Let the copy-on-write functions return an error so spec_strategy
may fail if the copy-on-write fails.
- Change genfs_*lock*() to use vp->v_vnlock instead of &vp->v_lock.
- Add flag B_METAONLY to VOP_BALLOC to return indirect block buffer.
- Add a function ffs_checkfreefile needed for snapshot creation.
- Add special handling of snapshot files:
Snapshots may not be opened for writing and the attributes are read-only.
Use the mtime as the time this snapshot was taken.
Deny mtime updates for snapshot files.
- Add function transferlockers to transfer any waiting processes from
one lock to another.
- Add vfsop VFS_SNAPSHOT to take a snapshot and make it accessible through
a vnode.
- Add snapshot support to ls, fsck_ffs and dump.
Welcome to 2.0F.

- Document the kernel thread.
- Rename some functions and variables.
- Return EROFS where appropriate.
- Use shifts instead of 64-bit divide.
- Use a simple_lock to make it MP-safe.
- Add M_CANFAIL to malloc to avoid panic on large cluster size.
- Allow sparse file for backing store and use VOP_BALLOC() to allocate
space. Default size of backing store is the size of the file system.
Uses a hook in spec_strategy() to save data written from a mounted
file system to its block device and a hook in dounmount().
Not enabled by default in any kernel config.
