Pushed out the changes for 6751438 mirror mounted mountpoints panic when umounted

6751438 mirror mounted mountpoints panic when umounted, finally got through the code review process, the RTI process, etc. I wanted to get this into snv_101 because that is the candidate to become OpenSolaris 2008.11. I want a stable mirror mount experience out there for users.

The other bug fix I have in the works has passed stalled, which I'm really okay with at this point. This is the 6738223 Can not share a single IP address bug. Anyway, I've gotten two positive reviews and one reviewer asking questions. If I were tricky, I could try to submit an RTI, but the fact of the matter is that the third reviewer can still be satisfied.

Also, there is no way I want to integrate this into snv_101. While the fix is trivial, it can wait for snv_102. I.e., I don't see a business need to put it back right now.

Some of the key differences between the bugs and why one has to go in:

  1. Mirror mount bug is a panic, single addr one has a valid and documented work around
  2. Mirror mount bug is impacting regression testing, single addr one does not have a regression test case
  3. Mirror mounts are a hot request from some customers, single addr is being driven by my getting frustrated by unwieldy notation

So I feel one is a strong must and the other is a nice to have. And I don't think 'nice to have' meets the entry criteria for snv_101.
