What might be useful for someone who can provoke this, is to configure
your kernel with MUTEX_PROFILING, then do the following:

sysctl debug.mutex.prof.enable=1
start_your_test_case
sysctl debug.mutex.prof.enable=0

Then:

sysctl debug.mutex.prof.stats > stats.out

and provide access to that file.

This will help to show whether something is causing Giant starvation.
