I've compiled a kernel with the patch, installed the kernel, rebooted
with a power cycle, and printed without a panic, so it seems to work for
me.

Do still get this in /var/log/messages which might be annoying for those
who print a lot:
Jan 10 08:23:18 rottcodd kernel: lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
Jan 10 08:23:18 rottcodd kernel: lpt0: [ITHREAD]
Jan 10 08:23:19 rottcodd kernel: lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
Jan 10 08:23:19 rottcodd kernel: lpt0: [ITHREAD]

Thanks! Presumably this needs more testing before it hits RELENG7?
