'spec_bwrite' currently does nothing. Instead 'vn_bwrite' must be
used. This causes problems when unmountung the root filesystem.
The vnode functions for the root filesystem are those from 'ufs_spec'.
When unmounting the root filesystem, these are changed to 'spec'. Now
attempts to update the root device fail, because the write oparation
does nothing.
This causes the problems with vfs_invalbuf, dirty buffers.
