The new locking code that was committed fixes the issues that I discovered
with the driver. I have stress tested the nge interface with many hundred
of GBs worth of transfers using Robert Watson's tcpstream utility.
My testing indicates that this issue has been fixed since the following
file revisions:
sys/dev/nge/if_nge.c: 1.66
sys/dev/nge/if_ngevar.h: 1.10
