Being more precise, what kind of support do you need for completing
this? Do you think do you need all the standard syncer logic we have
now to be replicated for bufobj?
I have the impression that this is very much vnode specific (for
example, also the rush/speedup mechanism has meaning mostly in terms
of pages held by the vnode). Do you think, looking at the patch, that
the offered support is enough with having it remplemented efficiently
and only bufobj specific?

Thanks,
Attilio
