The locking changes are available in PR 120483 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=120483 I have also submitted a style change PR which will allow us to easily compare the NetBSD implementation to our NTFS implementation in PR 120482: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=120482 After the locking patch and style patch have been applied, all that is left is to review the remaining changes between the FreeBSD and NetBSD NTFS code to see if we should port additional fixes from NetBSD.
