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.
