the directory cache as translation table. See nfs_subs.c for comments.
Makes the code a bit more complex to look at than I would have liked,
but doesn't affect the speed of the default behavior.
* Optimize caching behavior a bit when buffers are invalidated.
* Save some RPCs in readdir operations by not bothering if there is
a small amount left to do to fill the buffer. It'll be done in the
next RPC with a larger chunk anyway. Wastes a bit of buffer space
but is faster.
* Make n_vattr an allocated vattr struct. This avoids nfsnode bloat,
and is friendlier to the malloc routines.
directory cookie that may be thrown back at us from userspace, up
to a size limit. Fixes double entry problem.
* Split flags for internal and external use in the NFS mount structure.
* Fix some buffer structure fields that weren're being used correctly.
* Fix missing directory cache inval call in nfs_open.
* Limit on NFS_DIRBLKSIZ no longer needed, bumped to the more reasonable
value of 8k.
* Various other things that I forget, all related to the dir caching
somehow, though.

Change splsoftclock() to splnet();
Make nfsrv_getstream create two copies of data when
splitting up an mbuf rather than two references to the
same external buffer. The symptom this fixes is client
hangs.

Clear pending signal when an unmount fails, this allows us another chance
at the umount after a short sleep. The fixes a problem where /usr is
mounted via nqnfs and the system hangs on shutdown since the umount()
always fails with EBUSY (inetd is still busy on usr) and since we don't
clear the signal we end up stuck looping and never give inetd a chance to
catch its SIGKILL.

Kirk's changes to prevent races when unmounting. (1) Unmount()
and vfs_unmountall() now call vfs_busy() so that they participates
in the mount structure locking scheme. Dounmount() calls vfs_unbusy()
to unlock things, and makes sure to wake up waiters if there's an
error. (2) The MFS and NQNFS daemons also now use vfs_busy() when
unmounting filesystems. Kirk restructured the code so that a
successful unmount by another process won't leave the possibility
that a daemon might reference a mount structure that has been freed.
