I always thought the spin on debug.mpsafenet=1 with if_de was YYMV.
There were many calls for the maintainers of the driver to fix it,
but zero response IIRC.  Maybe making it on by default was a little
hasty, but anyone that follows -CURRENT like they should if they
run it weuld have been aware of this and set debug.mpsafenet=0 in
their loader.conf when they saw that commit.

I have been particlarly impressed by the entire way netperf has
been handled especially the regular and verbose updates and
explanations.
