    sys/netipx           ipx.c ipx_input.c 
  Log:
  Recent changes have locked down most of the highly dynamic data
  structures in IPX/SPX -- primarily, sequence numbering, PCB lists,
  and PCBs for IPX raw sockets, IPX datagram sockets, and IPX/SPX.
  As such, remove remove NET_NEEDS_GIANT() for IPX, and remove the
  assertion of Giant in the ipxintr() IPX input path.
  
  Note that IPX/SPX is not fully MPSAFE, and that there are some
  problems with IPX/SPX locking that will require some further work.
  However, it is now safe enough to run in general without the Giant
  lock.
