[about the misplaced even/odd fields]

Hello,

this is just a random thought, regard as such...

When exactly is the FIELD bit updated in the status register ?
There will be random latency before the code gets into
the location where the "evenness" is queried, and
if (most likely) the bit is updated somewhere near this time,
it can cause described behavior ? It can vary against
other activity with the same ipl, was bktr using NET_IMASK ?
A test run with floodping on, and another with no...

I wonder if use of splq() and IMASK_MISC would be proper
for sound/video/etc ?

Juha
