However, locking problems with if_de can't (or shouldn't) explain the
panic in question :-).  We're probably looking either at a SACK problem,
or a TCP locking problem.  I need to review the TCP callouts, delivery,
and reassembly code and make sure all is well.  I also need to make sure
that I really did merge all the relevant bits of the netperf patch
relating to TCP -- there are some changes left, but I think they are
purely layout changes.  If you want to give it a spin, given some
background in TCP, feel free :-).
