Hello,

The patch at http://people.freebsd.org/~ssouhlal/sysctl-locking.diff 
removes Giant from the sysctl subsystem.
I tested it on i386 and powerpc, where it appears to work perfectly. 
However, I have not been able to test it on an SMP box, as I don't have 
access to any.
So I would appreciate it if someone would test it, and report any 
problems.
I will commit it in about week, unless, of course, there are 
objections/problems.

Bye
