when using the callout subsystem. Show how the callout_pending(),
callout_active() and callout_deactivate() macros can be used to
achieve simpler race-free callout semantics in many situations.
callout_stop(), except that if the callout being stopped is currently
in progress, it blocks attempts to reset the callout and waits until the
callout is completed before it returns.
This makes it possible to clean up callout-using code safely, e.g.,
without potentially freeing memory which is still being used by a callout.

callout lock while the callout is happening. So the serialization
that I thought was happening isn't. Therefore, remove the part of the
bugs that says this. Leave in the other bug as it is very hard to
work around (impossible?).
Fix various typos.
Also note that timeout/untimeout are considered to be the old interface and
the callout interface should be used insetad.

callout has finished or is in progress. Also document that the
locking of the callout code for FreeBSD 5 has eliminated the 'or is in
progress' clause as a possibility and that such elimination is an
accident of the implementation and shouldn't be relied upon.

me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
