I'm planning on putting back the fixes in the following webrev.  This
changes the notification in Nemo somewhat, hopefully to be a lot more
robust.

It fixes in particular 6508900, which basically states that i_mac_notify
can fail, and when it does, it spams the log.  (Worse, it can fail to
call qenable() which could lead to an apparent hang on transmit, etc.)

(It can fail due to resource shortage.)  My solution is to use a
separate thread, bit mask, and condition variable.

The webrev is at http://cr.opensolaris.org/~gdamore/mac-notify/

Have a look if you're interested.  (I think I have my 2 needed
reviewers, but I won't complain if others give me feedback.)
