Well, no, code is not documentation.  This patch is 16279 lines long
and can only be understood by people who:

1.  Read it completely.
2.  Compare it with the originals.
3.  Understand ufs in the first place.

phk replied with a summary which was somewhat short, but that's the
sort of overview which is needed.  At some point somebody (Bruce) will
have to convert this information into a release note.  A 16000 line
long patch would go up like a lead balloon.
