Hi Jan,

While you are working on the code, I want to let you know about the
following. The preprocessor seems to have an error in getting NGROUPS and
__BIT_TYPES_DEFINED__. After I defined NGROUPS=16 __BIT_TYPES_DEFINED__,
and remove the const in the following cast, it compiled. However, one of
the kernel options for CODA is broken as pointed out.

Other than this, rvm_io.c also has a _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO which is
defined to be -1. When it is preprocessed, the first FSYNC(fd) is defined
to be fsync(fd) while the second FSYNC(fd) is defined to be fdatasync(fd).
fdatasync(fd) is not available on FreeBSD.
