In theory it *could* be MFC=E2=80=99d to stable-10 and 11 but I am not =
sure we want to do that. I am
told by Drew that it does improve performance since in stable-10 you are =
getting the INFO_WLOCK()
but I am not sure if folks want it MFC=E2=80=99d=E2=80=A6

One thing that this code leads us towards is we *in theory* could move =
the lock acquisition to the
timer code itself (I think).. we would have to make sure that the =
callout functions did do the
unlock since thats part of the lock-dance with reference=E2=80=A6 but =
its theoretically possible :-)
