Call for Testers: Convert watchdog spinlock into a sleepable mutex in if_ndis

[Coleman Kane]

Hi,

I've got another patch to if_ndis and I'd like to know if any NDIS users
out there can test it for me and give me some feedback. I've converted
the ndis_spinlock in if_ndis into a normal sleepable mutex, and would
like to get some testers. The idea here is to eliminate an unnecessary
"spinning" in the kernel, where it would be preferable to sleep (for CPU
usage, interactivity, etc...).

You can download it here:
