Hi!

I'm reading http://www.BSDI.COM/products/internet/40-qna.mhtml#Q5 and found the
following peice of text:

"Lazy SPLs - The kernel no longer masks hardware events unless a hardware event
actually occurs, avoiding many expensive operations."

Does anyone know what this is?

Also, maybe a related question, when turning on/off interrupts using the ICU,
is it still necessary to flush the "out stream" by doing an out to a unused
port?
