Will take this one.

On further reflection, I feel that having an easy to tweak rc.conf knob 
to allow user mounts is not a good idea.  There seem to be a few
definite downsides to enabling vfs.usermount.

We now have a FAQ entry which describes how to enable user mounts for
those who absolutely must have this functionality.

The documentation patch in this PR for documenting start_vinum has 
been committed, thanks!

vfs.usermount is not ready for general consumption so an easy to 
tweak knob is probably not a good idea.  However the relevant info 
on how to use it is present now in the FAQ for those who want to use it. 
The vinum specific portions ofn the submitted patch have been committed, 
thanks!
