>Description:
The cxgb driver causes a kernel panic if you try to disable LRO; it asserts that the port lock is held when there is no way that it could be.  This problem appears to have existed for a long time (SVN 181616, Aug 2008?).

We must be the only people disabling LRO.
>How-To-Repeat:
'ifconfig cxgb0 -lro'
>Fix:
Take the port lock before calling cxgb_set_lro() in src/sys/dev/cxgb/cxgb_main.c.
