    I always thought the spin on debug.mpsafenet=1 with if_de was YYMV.
    There were many calls for the maintainers of the driver to fix it,
    but zero response IIRC. Maybe making it on by default was a little
    hasty, but anyone that follows -CURRENT like they should if they
    run it weuld have been aware of this and set debug.mpsafenet=0 in
    their loader.conf when they saw that commit.

    I have been particlarly impressed by the entire way netperf has
    been handled especially the regular and verbose updates and
    explanations.
