It needs to be rewritten completely, and not just be a hack underneath
UFS :-)

I.e. block allocation should dynamically allocate pages (up to some
hardlimit, of course), and freeing a block should dynamically free
pages... it should be using pageable kernel memory, not hanging on a
user process's address space, etc.

In short, it should be like Sun's tmpfs, without the bugs :-)
