Actually, I'm "on the fence" as to whether or not this one should be
MFC'd, due to the VFS ABI breakage.

Since you (well, actually OpenAFS;-) are the main guy affected by VFS
ABI breakage these days, maybe you'd like to comment on this?

Also, if anyone else has an opinion w.r.t. MFC'ng a patch that adds
a VFS op and, therefore, breaks the VFS ABI, please feel free to comment.

Thanks, rick
ps: And, yes, I will bump __FreeBSD_version of I end up doing the MFC.
