:or do what Kirk wants to do and merge the VM and Vnode structures
:I belive the UVM does a bit in this direction due to kirk's influence.

If this could result in a smaller overall structure, it may be worth it.
To really make the combined structure smaller we would also have to
pair-down the fields in both structures. For example, the vnode structure
contains a lot of temporary clustering fields that could be removed
entirely if clustering operations are done at the time of the actual I/O
rather then before hand ( which leads to other problems related to
low-memory deadlocks :-(... but assuming that could be fixed... ).
