    It's been well-tested on a few -stable boxes.  Hopefully I didn't make
    any mistakes when I moved the patchset to current.  I wouldn't mind if
    someone could go through it quickly to see if I left any filedes
    references dangling.  open() has changed a lot between stable and current.

    I'm porting the low memory handling patchset to -current right now.  
    This one has been run through the gauntlet on a bunch of stable boxes 
    of mine and at Yahoo and has come up roses with over a week's worth 
    of continuous testing by Paul and I.  We literally could not crash or 
    deadlock the test machine.

    There are also some vfs/bio fixes going in, though neither Kirk nor I
    are sure whether they fix the recently reported corruption problems.  
    They fix an NFS bug and some bogus_page related offset bugs that *could*
    be responsible for the filesystem corruption that has been reported.
    Hopefully people will at least get a KASSERT rather then a blown up
    filesystem if the problem winds up being what we think it is.

    All of this stuff will be MFC'd to stable after the release is rolled.
