Hi,

I'm going to eventually nuke OACTIVE. It just doesn't hold any meaning nowdays.

Having OACTIVE serialised behind the iflock doesn't actuallly help as
much as it used to - because there's multiple concurrent TX path entry
points, it's very possible that OACTIVE will get set in one TXing
thread during the _middle_ of the execution of another TX thread.
That's why you need some kind of higher level serialisation or locking
around the TX path to have it make any sense.
