I have a patch for nve(4) which fixes at least one known LOR in the driver and 
generally fixes up the locking.  If you have an nve(4) card that currently 
works, please test this patch to make sure it doesn't break anything.  If you 
have an nve(4) card that doesn't work, this patch probably won't help.
