Oh, and 4.3BSD from Uni of Wisconsin also has VFS:
http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.3BSD-UWisc/src/sys/h/vfs.h
(dated 1987).

And SunOS 2 has got VFS:
   include/sys/vfs.h
   /*      @(#)vfs.h 1.1 84/12/20 SMI      */

   /*
    * Structure per mounted file system.
    * Each mounted file system has an array of
    * operations and an instance record.
    * The file systems are put on a singly linked list.
    */
   struct vfs {
        struct vfs      *vfs_next;              /* next vfs in vfs list */
        struct vfsops   *vfs_op;                /* operations on vfs */
        struct vnode    *vfs_vnodecovered;      /* vnode we mounted on */
        int             vfs_flag;               /* flags */
        int             vfs_bsize;              /* native block size */
        caddr_t         vfs_data;               /* private data */
   };

That's as far back as I can go.
Cheers, Warren
