I run kernel with the patch from kern/7415 for quite some time now. It 
doesn't seem to cause problems in normal operations. It also fixes the 
panic with floppy drive. Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem with 
the msdosfs filesystem in my hard drive. (Sorry I didn't told you 
earlier). The panic disappear, but when the device is VMIOed, access to any 
subdirectory cause message 'deget(): pcbmap returned 0'. I didn't get any 
idea about what is wrong, and didn't try to debug it properly yet.

I would say this patch should be committed ASAP, so it can be backed 
out before 3.0.1 if someone will notice any damage :-/.

I looked at the stuff, but I cannot say I understand everything well 
enough.
