Well using the bio_taskqueue has made the problem go away on those few 
situations where I could provoke it, so that is actually a help.
I see no LOR's or anything else from witness.
I dont miss the interrupt, if you look at the code you will se that I 
have got the interrupt, read status from the device etc, but its the 
simple return via the biodone etc thats put on the taskqueue that 
doesn't get called in time for the timeout to fire...

Now the timeout is 5 secs so on a busy machine our lemming syncer can 
get the disksystem so busy that the first one appears because of that.
