Alex,
  Look at broadcast_cb() which lock the the port->obj, then calls add_local() 
which now locks port->obj prior to __endpt_mgr_insert()....oops!
Looks like this patch is not valid.
Perhaps a comment around __endpt_mgr_insert() would clear things up, as the 
caller to add_local() has already locket the port obj.

stan.

Subject: [ofw] [Patch][IPoIB_NDIS6_CM] Take a lock when calling 
__endpt_mgr_insert ()

__endpt_mgr_insert () works with CL objects like queues that are not 
thread-safe.
In order to protect on these objects, one need to take a lock
