I just want to point one more thing to look at. Currently we have no
clean KPI to operate on file systems from within a kernel thread, thus
hacks like:

	if (td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_rdir == NULL)
		td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_rdir = rootvnode;
	if (td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_cdir == NULL)
		td->td_proc->p_fd->fd_cdir = rootvnode;

Now, that all those separate kernel threads are going to end up in one
process, we may want to revise this.
