It is a precusor to moving devices out of vnodes.  In order to get the
patch which _does_ something to be manageable, I will sort out some
minor issues first, this is one of them.

If your complaint is about the use of do { ... break; ... break; }
while (0); then launch an campaign to have it banned in style 9.

IMO it is superior to goto, and ever deepening if-else constructs.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
