Sounds great, although PRIV_NNPFS_DEBUG should be defined on the most recent 
-CURRENT; I added it last week, so if you're running a slightly older 
-CURRENT, that could be why.  I believe I also MFC'd to RELENG_7 but it won't 
make FreeBSD 7.0.

No problem at all -- this is something I've been meaning to do for years, and 
I'm very pleased all the pieces are coming together :-).
