    VN - Remove use of IO_DIRECT, Improve lock performance for reads
    
    * Remove the use of IO_DIRECT.  This just doesn't work very well,
      particularly when the device backing the VN has a different logical
      block size than the device using VN.
    
      This will result in heavier use of the buffer cache and more
      (temporarily) duplicated data, but also has much better performance.
    
    * Use LK_SHARED for VOP_READ()s instead of LK_EXCLUSIVE, which allows
      concurrent reads to be issued.
