Hans,

We've been running into 'spin lock held too long' panics in the kernel
idle threads on 10-STABLE over the past 6 months, so I was interested
to see your work here in the callout code.  I went ahead and brought
this patch back to a recent 10.1-STABLE base without much issue,
kern_timeout.c was actually the only piece with some easily resolvable
rejections.

I've had a box running stable under load with this patch for a few
days, and 10 more have just been added to the rotation.  Anyway just
figured you might be interested in the some feedback while the changes
are reviewed.

Thanks!

Jason
