Hi Sam.
Since updating from r192372 to r192667, ending "tcpdump -ni uath0"
with ^C results in this witness warning:

taskqueue_drain with the following non-sleepable locks held:
exclusive sleep mutex bpf global lock (bpf global lock) r = 0
(0xc0bdafd8) locked @ /usr/src/sys/net/bpf.c:605

Well, I have no perfect evidence that your changes caused this
behaviour, but since it happens only on 802.11 interfaces and not in
my previous CURRENT, this looks like fallout from your monitor works.
