You are right, of course, respecting dirpref and UFS_DIRHASH.  However,
the ipfw MFC require a rebuild of ipfw.ko. Here is a excerpt from the
recent HEADSUP sent by Luigi Rizzo to -stable:

 * the merge of ipfw rule descriptor and chain pointer. No functional
   change, but the internal data structures and code are way more
   readable;
  
 * Bill Fenner's code to make ipfw/dummynet/bridge KLD'able
  
   BOTH THESE THINGS REQUIRES REBUILDING OF ipfw.ko and /sbin/ipfw

I am not sure if that should be added to UPDATING. After all, it was not
added to -CURRENT's /usr/src/UPDATING neither ;-)
