Subject:   Deferred procedure call available?

Hi,
	Is there a facility in FreeBSD to do a deferred procedure call?
Sometimes called "task queues"
	or "deferred callbacks", they allow an interrupt handler to schedule
a (possibly predefined) function to
	be called outside the context of the interrupt.

	I dug a bit and found some "software interrupt" functions (swi_*()),
but they are just a list of functions to be
	called immediately (no deferral); they don't seem to be of help to
me.

Regards,
Eric
