callout(9) and Giant lock

[Sebastian Huber]

Hi,

suppose that a certain time event triggered several callout functions. 
What happens if the first of these callout functions blocks on the Giant 
lock? Does this delay all further callout functions until the Giant lock 
is available for the first callout function? What happens if one of the 
callout function blocks forever? Does this deadlock the system?
