Enable taking snapshots on UFS/FFS filesystems using journaled soft updates.
All the needed infrastructure updates have been made to allow
snapshots to be taken on UFS/FFS filesystems that are using journaled
soft updates. The most immediate benefit is the ability to use a
snapshot to take a consistent filesystem dump on a live filesystem
using the -L option to dump(8).
