Hi,

I am seeing period occurances of the same system call with the same
WITNESS warning and similar backtrace on yesterday's AMD64 CURRENT.

----------------------
ral0: link state changed to DOWN
malloc(M_WAITOK) of "32", forcing M_NOWAIT with the following
non-sleepable locks held:
exclusive sleep mutex ral0 (network driver) r = 0 (0xffffffff80c64de8)
locked @ /usr/src/sys/dev/ral/if_ral.c:2167

ral0: link state changed to UP
----------------------

I am indeed curious to understand what exactly is causing these WITNESS warnings
