: You need to add an entry to subr_witness.c creating a graph edge between 
: the softc lock and the routing lock.  An example of an entry in 
: subr_witness.c:
: 
:          /*
:           * TCP/IP
:           */
:          { "tcp", &lock_class_mtx_sleep },
:          { "tcpinp", &lock_class_mtx_sleep },
:          { "so_snd", &lock_class_mtx_sleep },
:          { NULL, NULL },
: 
: Note that sets of ordered entries are terminated with a double-null.  This 
: declares that locks of type "tcp" preceed "tcpinp" which preceed 
: "so_snd".

So you have to have locks of type tcp BEFORE you take out tcpinp type
locks?
