 Hi,
 
 Good to know you still have hardware and would be great if you will
 have a chance to test. No worries about timeline. If I'll commit patch
 before your testing I will inform too :).
 
 Also, if you will be testing, would be great to verify that kern/38273
 is also not reproducible anymore for you (on my via ataraid(4) I don't
 get spin locks anymore with LOCKDEBUG enabled, discussed patch was
 committed in 2010).
 
 Thank you.
