>Description:
	While doing a make release, I got this panic when the build was
	unmounting the vnd0 device for the floppy creation.
>How-To-Repeat:
	repeated make release until you get this.
>Fix:
	Don't know.  We had this problem in LFS due to races at
	umount time.  It was fixed by putting in proper locking with vfs_busy() 
	Maybe something similar?
