Subject:   ifmedia status callback is non-sleepable

Hello,

I'd like to double-check that it is intended/known limitation on ifmedia 
status callback to be non-sleepable.
The limitation is imposed by usage of the ifmedia ioctl to get status 
from lacp/lagg code on port creation (it holds non-sleepable rm_wlock).

Backtrace of the corresponding panic:

Sleeping thread (tid 100578, pid 10653) owns a non-sleepable lock

I think vnic driver has the problem as well since it grabs sx_lock from 
ifmedia status callback.

Andrew.
