FYI, as of this evening (and per the HEADS UP on freebsd-current), most of the locking part of this is now committed to CVS HEAD, with an intent to merge to RELENG_5 in a few weeks. There's more work to do on the locking/cleanup/testing for IPX/SPX, and I'll chug away a bit more on it, but we should now be in a much better position than we were. Robert N M Watson
