It won't help. What needs to happen is for the VOP_FSYNC in ffs to
figure out buffer<->buffer dependancies - something which is not being
recorded in the structures currently. Kirk indicated to me in our
discussions a few weeks ago that it would be relatively easy to figure
out *some* of the dependancies and write the buffers out in the correct
order, but not all of them. There are dependancies which are much
more complex and not simply a matter of writing buffers out in any
particular order.
