@adrian this is the one I reported the performance issues but now seems to
be working ok.
For the record this is with --> r280273
commit d7efe7e99e68d52fa754f4e935814c492d818ece
Author: pfg <pfg@FreeBSD.org>

Permit multiple arguments for the nonnull attribute.
This is very useful for non-trivial functions and doesn't

MFC after: 5 days
Notes:
svn path=/head/; revision=280273
I'm noticing something wron with "ifconfig scan" too, it listed fine as a
normal user, but that's not really re-scanning...
% ifconfig wlan0 scan

Trying with sudo gets in a hanged state...
