ugh, what fun this is, yes, i'm using vinum, softupdates, nfs and ata,
but da for the vinum backing.

I think i'm one of the bio bug posterboys.

Anyhow, it seems that the problem happens because somewhere softupdates
(or something else perhaps) LK_KERNPROCs the buffer and never lets go.

I've been trying to compile with DEBUG_LOCKS for nearly half an hour
but i'm having difficulty with vinum because i think it's intent on
giving me a hard time w/ matching itself and the kernel and the userland.

argh.. :)
