    Please make sure this fix from Tim Robbins <tjr@freebsd.org> comes in
    just for the case someone imports something ...

    http://perforce.freebsd.org/chv.cgi?CH=33605

    This prevents from hangig up FreeBSD if you mounted
    fat32 partitions ro, change it to rw and then write
    something to it.

    >From perforce log:
    XXX Propagate hack from UFS: open device for write access even if the
    user requests a read-only mount. This is fairly stupid, but it's
    necessary because we don't do the VOP_OPEN again if they upgrade a
    read-only mount to read-write.
    Fixes lockup when creating files on msdosfs mounts that have been
    mounted read-only then upgraded to read-write, reported by andreas@.
