I have a couple of problems with it though. It seems that bdevsw and cdevsw both have a new field d_type which is not initialised by most of the static initialisers in various devices across the kernel. What does this field do? It doesn't seem to be used anywhere. After hacking various devices which my kernel config included, I got something which booted but now for some reason, my two non-root ffs filesystems /usr and /var get mounted readonly which makes it hard to boot cleanly :-). I can't figure out what is wrong here. If I type 'mount -u -o rw /usr' then it makes the fs read-write but if I use 'umount /usr; mount /usr' it is read-only.
