  Modified:    sys/kern  vnode_if.sh vnode_if.src
  Log:
  The generated VCALL always uses the first vp which in the case of /link/
  might not be handled by the same FS as the directory (e.g. special device
  files)...so it must be special-cased. This bug is seen when doing
  "ln /dev/console /dev/foo" or equivilent and first appeared after I fixed
  the argument order of VOP_LINK.  YUCK! There really needs to be a way of
  specifying what vp to use in the VCALL; doing this could fix the strategy
  and bwrite special-cases, too.
