I'm in my beach-house and pretty offline right now, but I reviewed the
change Kirk did to addaliasu() and found at least one scenario where
it wouldn't do what he expected:
If bdevvp() is called more than once with the same dev_t we would
create more than one anonymous vnode for that dev_t and addaliasu()
would only get one of these in its yarn. This patch makes bdevvp()
only produce max one anonymous vnode per dev_t.
I don't know if the new rootfs-locating code calls bdevvp() more
than once, if it doesn't this patch is a harmless bit of overhead.
Please test, and if it doesn't do any harm I will commit it.
(This does not fix the panic everybody is talking about btw)
