No, it's for RELENG_6. I'm interested in people testing it before it's 
committed to -current!

Not significantly.

You may need to 'kldload geom_virstor'.

This means the .so file has not been found.

I see now what's going on: I've forgot to add a step to the README: make 
a symlink of geom_virstor.so in your /lib/geom directory:

/lib/geom# ln -s /path_to_gvirstor/geom_virstor.so


Also, take care to remove CFLAGS line from Makefile if you don't have a 
kernel with INVARIANTS and WITNESS.

I hope to hear about your experience with it.
