Yeah, you have it by default, it's all about the VFS layer not being
under the GIANT lock (as much). From the 6.0 release notes:
<quote>
Fine-grained locking to allow much of the VFS stack to run without the
Giant lock has been added. This is enabled by default on the alpha,
amd64, and i386 architectures, and can be disabled by setting the loader
tunable (and sysctl variable) debug.mpsafevfs to 0.
