To be honest, because the only use of recv_avail seems to be for 
"lwip_ioctl(...FIONREAD...)", I think this we should put this code in a 
configuration option like LWIP_FIONREAD. But if we need this option, add some 
SYS_ARCH_PROTECTs could be a solution...

Perhaps it's also need for "select" ? It's something to study with 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?5919 I think...

Aaah, I'm sorry, I seem to have looked in the wrong if-clause... :-)

But another issue: netconn_recv() simply operates on conn->recv_avail 
(conn->recv_avail -= buf->p->tot_len) Isn't there a race condition with
recv_udp() in api_msg.c (conn->recv_avail += p->tot_len) ???

I agree it's faster than TCP since calling into another thread is avoided, but 
at least we would need some SYS_ARCH_PROTECTs here, don't we?

About TCP you mean? Yes, but I think it will take a while until we get there ;-)
