Thanks Eric.

I think at this point the big issues are resolved, and this already is a
significant improvement overall.

We've also identified a few things (here and off-list) that would be
reasonable tackled as follow-ons, such as a well-defined lock hierarchy
and identifying reasonable places to add lockdep assertions.

Thanks,
Matt
