Re: panic: _mtx_lock_sleep: recursed on non-recursive mutex em0 _at_ /usr/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_lem.c:881

It looks like a case of "lock held during call up the stack". This is
bad for so many reasons.

It also makes writing correctly locked drivers a pain in the ass as
the moment you unlock the driver before calling ether_input() /
ieee80211_input(), you allow things to change state. So no, although
you shouldn't use long-held locks to protect things, apparently this
is all the rage.

iwn(4) does this. ath(4) does not. I'm having a right painful time
trying to fine-grain lock things. I'm at the point where I'm about to
not care, rip out all the locks and replace with a single ATH_LOCK().
