FYI, I'm currently awaiting testing results from Pete on the MFC of a number 
of routing table locking fixes, and once that's merged (hopefully tomorrow?) 
I'll start on the patches in the above PR.  I've taken a crash-course in 
routing table locking in the last few days... :-)

The patches I sent him are at:

   http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/20090221-route-locking.diff

They do not include the patch from the above PR which I want to handle 
separately as it's a significantly different issue.
