You cannot get the same panic described on kern/121385 as follow:

   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/121385
   How-To-Repeat:
   # mkdir -p /unionfs/disk1
   # mkdir -p /unionfs/disk2
   # mount -t unionfs /unionfs/disk1 /unionfs/disk2
   # mount -t unionfs /unionfs/disk2 /unionfs/disk1
   # touch /unionfs/disk1/foo
   <freeze or crash>

The r178483 (http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=178483)
avoids this panic. Try without r178483 and you will get a panic.

Some discussions with some developers, we are testing a new cross-mount
issue patch, after some more check, I'll open it. thanks :)
