ext4 but that can be used in ext3 mode.
Also adjust the internal inode to carry the birthtime,
like in UFS, which is starting to get some use when
big inodes are available.
Right now these are just placeholders for features
to come.

mnt_noasync counter to temporary remove MNTK_ASYNC mount option, which
is needed to guarantee a synchronous completion of the initiated i/o
before syscall or VOP return. Global removal of MNTK_ASYNC option is
harmful because not only i/o started from corresponding thread becomes
synchronous, but all i/o is synchronous on the filesystem which is
initiated during sync(2) or syncer activity.
Instead of removing MNTK_ASYNC from mnt_kern_flag, provide a local
thread flag to disable async i/o for current thread only. Use the
opportunity to move DOINGASYNC() macro into sys/vnode.h and
consistently use it through places which tested for MNTK_ASYNC.
Some testing demonstrated 60-70% improvements in run time for the
metadata-intensive operations on async-mounted UFS volumes, but still
with great deviation due to other reasons.

- 77115: Implement support for O_DIRECT.
- 98425: Fix a performance issue introduced in 70131 that was causing
reads before writes even when writing full blocks.
- 98658: Rename the BALLOC flags from B_* to BA_* to avoid confusion with
the struct buf B_ flags.
- 100344: Merge the BA_ and IO_ flags so so that they may both be used in
the same flags word. This merger is possible by assigning the IO_ flags
to the low sixteen bits and the BA_ flags the high sixteen bits.
- 105422: Fix a file-rewrite performance case.
- 129545: Implement IO_INVAL in VOP_WRITE() by marking the buffer as
"no cache".
- Readd the DOINGASYNC() macro and use it to control asynchronous writes.
Change i-node updates to honor DOINGASYNC() instead of always being
synchronous.
- Use a PRIV_VFS_RETAINSUGID check instead of checking cr_uid against 0
directly when deciding whether or not to clear suid and sgid bits.

Eliminate the i_devvp field from the incore inodes, we can get the same
value from ip->i_ump->um_devvp.

- BSDL block and inode allocation policies for ext2fs. This involves the use
FFS1 style block and inode allocation for ext2fs. Preallocation was removed
since it was GPL'd.
- Make ext2fs MPSAFE by introducing locks to per-mount datastructures.
- Fixes for kern/122047 PR.
- Various small bugfixes.
- Move out of gnu/ directory.
