Raw guessing... I think it may be easier to port ResierFS than trying to
get the old UFS code adjusted to do that. Or use QFS if you really want
a fast filesystem.
If you are just want to boose UFS temporarily it may be better to make
the "fastfs" thing a mount option and then use "mount -o
remount,nologging,fastfs ; do_something ; mount -o
remount,nofastfs,logging"  ...
