    I have generated a patch which appears to solve the lock ordering
    issues associated with ucred based filtering which results in
    hard locks (while mpsafenet=1).

    This patch basically implements a shared locking mechanism.

    http://people.freebsd.org/~csjp/ip_fw2.c.1099500281.diff

    It would be appriciated if interested parties could download it,
    load a large number of rules and try to manipulate (delete/add)
    rules under high loads.

    Thanks!
