I can do some testing on this. One question: did you really mean to post 
this to -stable?

I don't have the time to bring any of my machines to HEAD right now. I
could test your patches with 5.4-stable, if that is possible. I would also
be willing to part with one of my cards and send it to you, but please
don't remove the driver.

Ok, it seems I'm going to be able to get this set of patches tested, so I 
doubt I'll have to resort to removing this driver. :)  (I did have to remove 
one for an old ISA NIC today because no one was able to test patches.)  The 
patches I have probably won't apply to 5.x, but likely do apply to HEAD and 
6.x.

Yes because I posted to current@ at least a week ago and no one responded. :)  
The patch is at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/ste_locking.patch and it 
should apply ok to HEAD.  It might not apply to 6.x, but I'll go try to get 
the other printf changes merged back to 6.x so that the patch should apply 
and work ok on 6.x as well.  I'm not sure if the patches will apply to 5.x.
