- Introduce a subsystem mutex, natm_mtx, manipulated with accessor macros
NATM_LOCK_INIT(), NATM_LOCK(), NATM_UNLOCK(), NATM_LOCK_ASSERT(). It
protects the consistency of pcb-related data structures. Finer grained
locking is possible, but should be done in the context of specific
measurements (as very little work is done in netnatm -- most is in the
ATM device driver or socket layer, so there's probably not much
contention).
- Remove GIANT_REQUIRED, mark as NETISR_MPSAFE, remove
NET_NEEDS_GIANT("netnatm").
- Conditionally acquire Giant when entering network interfaces for
ifp->if_ioctl() using IFF_LOCKGIANT(ifp)/IFF_UNLOCKGIANT(ifp) in order
to coexist with non-MPSAFE atm ifnet drivers..
- De-spl.
