Highly Unlikely
>Environment:
	NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA home-built snapshot of 8/2/00 (on x86, not that 
	it matters)

>Description:
	If one is building an LKM that uses tsleep(9) and one does not include
	sys/proc.h in the source file, the LKM will link but will not load.

	This is due to the change of tsleep(9) from a function to a macro
	that calls ltsleep() with a NULL lock argument, so there really *is*
	not tsleep() function in the kernel anymore.

	All this would be fine, except the requirement to include sys/proc.h
	is not stated in the tsleep(9) man page, and other than the load 
	error below, all goes well.  

	If this macro-ization of tsleep(9) is a precursor to the deprecation
	or replacement of the interface, it would also be nice to note that 
	in the man page.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Call tsleep(9) from LKM source without including sys/proc.h.

	Have link succeed, but load fail thusly:
	    lcd.o: In function `lcdread':
	    lcd.o(.text+0x3fc): undefined reference to `tsleep'

>Fix:
	Mention necessary inclusion of sys/proc.h in tsleep(9).
	Possibly mention flux of tsleep() interface in same page, if that
	is indeed the case.
