Are there any comments on integrating this functionality into msleep(), and
adding mtx_drop_recurse() and mtx_pickup_recurse() to the FreeBSD kernel?

Nope. Fix the code to not recurse instead, or to know it has a recursed mutex
and make sure it doesn't call mtx_sleep() or cv_wait() with a recursed lock.
It's not that hard to do. The rest of the kernel manages that restriction
fine.
