    sys/netipx           ipx.c ipx_input.c 
  Log:
  Merge ipx.c:1.30, ipx_input.c:1.49 from HEAD to RELENG_5:
  
    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.
