Hello All!

  I'm porting a CPI card driver from linux to FreeBSD.
  Some initialization routines require much time (~1-2 seconds).
  Initialization of hardware should be done during opening device
  special file. So, I need to switch thread context.

  I'm doing it in such way:

  mi_switch(SW_VOL, choosethread());
