Wanted: lots of 6-CURRENT testing

All,

There has been an incredible amount of work going into 6-CURRENT in the 
last 5 weeks.  With the holidays quickly approaching, now seems like a 
good time to step back and start really testing the system to shake out
the bugs and catch the developers before they disappear for the
holidays.  In particular, the recent massive changes to the vnode layer
and the upgrade of the net80211 layer and wireless lan drivers needs a 
lot of review and testing.  Now is also a good time to review the recent
additions to the PR database and start seeing if there are trends
developing and/or areas that need immediate attention.

While 6-CURRENT remains in a high state of flux I'll also ask that 
people carefully consider what to merge into 5-STABLE and when to merge 
it.  Don't let important bugfixes that would benefit 5-STABLE and 
4-STABLE drop on the floor, but also make sure that they recieve 
thorough testing before being merged back.

Thanks,

Scott
