<para>ISDN4BSD, &man.ng.h4.4;, and netatm have been temporarily
disconnected from the build. These modules all require
the Giant kernel lock for their operation; disconnecting
them allows the removal of the NET_NEEDS_GIANT compatability
shim and allows the &os; network stack to run completely
without the Giant kernel lock. It is planned to convert
these modules to fine-grained kernel locking and re-connect
them for &os; 7.1-RELEASE.</para>
