There workaround for this is quite easy:
- put a web page somewhere on freebsd.org, for example:
   http://people.freebsd.org/~someguy/lor.html

- when the FreeBSD kernel prints out "lock order reversal", it also
  prints out a reference to http://people.freebsd.org/~someguy/lor.html

- on lor.html, use the HTML META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" tag
  to redirect the web browser to point to Bjoern's "real" LOR page

- if Bjoern ever has to move his LOR page because he changes ISP or
  for another reason, then you just need to update lor.html
  on the FreeBSD web server with the actual location of the LOR web page

For an example of how this can be done, go to
http://lists.freebsd.org/index.html  and look at the source code for
that HTML web page.
