Just a quick question..  Where do we stand on bringing the networking
subsystem out from under Giant?

The mbuf system is soon to be safe, thanks to Alan Cox, so this allows
INTR_MPSAFE drivers.  However, swi:net is still under Giant, as are
many of the important socket functions (sendto(), recvfrom(), etc).

Thanks,

Drew
