:Hi,
:
:I have problem under specific test case, if I use spinlock on ifq (got
:many "indefinite wait" logging).  With following patch things improve
:greatly, there is almost no "indefinite wait"!.  Please review it:

    Looks good.  We might want to also change that cpu_nop() into a
    cpu_pause(), or perhaps even call both.
