 Hello,
 
 After some discussion with Kip Macy and Suleiman Souhlal, I've come up
 with the following patch. It changes the panic() to a printf() warning
 and returns EIO unless INVARIANTS is defined. The hope of this patch
 is to create a workaround for a known issue while we can analyze it
 and determine the `correct' fix.
 
 The patch is also available at http://databits.net/~dho/vnode_pager.diff
