make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

fixed (many due to changing semantics in other parts of the kernel and not
the original author's fault), including one critical one: unionfs could
cause UFS corruption in the fronting store due to calling VOP_OPEN for
writing without turning on vmio for the UFS vnode.
Most of the bugs were related to semantics changes in VOP calls, lock
ordering problems (causing deadlocks), improper handling of a read-only
backing store (such as an NFS mount), improper referencing and locking
of vnodes, not using real struct locks for vnode locking, not using
recursive locks when accessing the fronting store, and things like that.
New functionality has been added: unionfs now has mmap() support, but
only partially tested, and rename has been enhanced considerably.
There are still some things that unionfs cannot do. You cannot
rename a directory without confusing unionfs, and there are issues
with softlinks, hardlinks, and special files. unionfs mostly doesn't
understand them (and never did).
There are probably still panic situations, but hopefully no where near
as many as before this commit.
The unionfs in this commit has been tested overlayed on /usr/src
(backing /usr/src being a read-only NFS mount, fronting /usr/src being
a local filesystem). kernel builds have been tested, buildworld is
undergoing testing. More testing is necessary.
- Set UN_ULOCK in union_lock() when UN_KLOCK is set. Caller expects
that vnode is locked correctly, and may call another function which
expects locked vnode and may unlock the vnode.
- Do not assume the behavior of inside functions in FreeBSD's
vfs_suber.c is same as 4.4BSD-Lite2. Vnode may be locked in
vget() even though flag is zero. (Locked vnode is, of course,
unlocked before returning from vget.)

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
