I missed the dbtob() conversions in vfs_bio.c when I replied previously
So blkno cannot be a cookie; it must be for a 512-block.  So how did
the cases where bsize != DEV_BSIZE in getblk() ever work?

If units were always 512-blocks, then anything except bsize = DEV_BSIZE
would be clearly wrong.  Things aren't that simple (but probably should
be).  Even RELENG_3 has bsize = f_iosize (possibly != 512) for non-disks.
That seems to include nfs(client).  In fact, nfs_getcacheblk() does
weird scaling which seems to be mainly to compensate for for weird scaling
here.  It calls getblk() with a bn arg that seems to be f_iosize units.
Then at then end, for the VREG case, it sets bp->b_blkno to this bn
scaled to normal DEV_BSIZE units.  bp->b_blkno seems to have DEV_BSIZE
units for all uses of it in nfs.

Barely worth checking.

The current bug has nothing to do with this.  The offset is just wrong
at this point, after using a scale factor that is inconsistent with the
units of blkno, for all (?) disk (and other?) file systems whose sector
size isn't 512.
