OK, let us just for the sake of argument say that I've got a rough
patch (3 hours of work) and have put it on
	http://www.freebsd.org/~eivind/vput-proc.patch

Where would I go from here?  How do I test this without burning my
filesystems?  Have anybody got any testsuites they believe to be
relevant?

Oh, and can somebody tell me if cnp->cn_proc is generally usable as a
'relevant process pointer', or if I should keep it to areas where it
is already used (as I did in the rough patch)?

Eivind.
