i cannot comment on this.  with the description though it should be 
easy to check/fix/add.

i believe i helped srikanth with this issue -- he messaged this list
about the problem.  i developed what i consider a 'correct' fix which
is in the latest devel and stable releases.  its probably similar, although
however, i also eliminated the glock droppping in osi_linux_alloc() since
you could still 'loose' a wakeup when adding the event the first time
through the loop.
