I tend to take the view that crashing is worse than not crashing, so we =
should ensure something appears in releng/11.0 that is suitable to ship =
in a release =E2=80=94 at the very least this patch. However, we do need =
to be careful about packet reordering, as it can be extremely hard to =
diagnose while leading to observable performance degradation, which is =
clearly not the goal of enabling higher netisr thread counts. The change =
required to do this properly should be extremely small, and it=E2=80=99s =
worth getting it sorted out and merged for the release, if we can.
