md devices mounted with async

mdmfs(8) has an example of a malloc-backed md device mounted with the
async option. Is there any point in doing this with malloc and vnode
devices? In neither case does a write to the file-system require a write
to a physical disk.

... async option. ... to a physical disk. ... Well, for vnode devices it does write to the disk, but that isn't the point; in both cases you are writing to the filesystem that is mounted on top of the md, so that will be faster if it is mounted async. ...
