ENABLE_VFS_IOOPT was a work-in-progress by John Dyson to perform zero-copy file system I/O. Unfortunately, it still has some unresolved issues, and no one has taken an active interest in fixing them. For the record, both Matt Dillon and Tor Egge have stated in public or private e-mail that they favor removing it. Unless I hear an objection, I intend to remove it in a few days.
