JH> The file system xxx_strategy() functions call on the vnode of the
JH> block device which is not the same as bp->b_vp. Like this:
JH>
JH> 		vp = ap->amp->devvp;
JH> 		bp->b_dev = vp->v_rdev;
JH> 	-       VOCALL(vp->v_op, VOFFSET(vop_strategy), sp);
JH> 	+       error = VOP_STRATEGY(vp, bp);

...see, NOW it makes sense; the first example didn't seem quite as
logical.
