I presume you mean the part starting with the comment:

         /*
          * Map the vnodes going in.
          * Later, we'll invoke the operation based on
          * the first mapped vnode's operation vector.
          */

Thanks!  I don't think I'd guess it by reading the code; I was looking 
for a a simple assignment or indirection.  My next plan was to add 
debugging statements along the way, which would have been quite painful.
