A quick diff didn't suggest to me that there were substantial changes in
either the netncp code or nwfs code between RELENG_5 and HEAD that look
like they are related: i.e., there are a few tweaks but they're all part
of Poul Henning's buffer cache work.  Do you have any more details on the
nature of the change?  I'd be happy to MFC stuff, but it's not immediately
clear to me what to merge.  My hope is to keep the network stack pieces of
the kernel relatively in synch between RELENG_5 and HEAD as much as
possible without breaking the ABI.
