Testing focuses for 4.10

Issue Status Responsible Description
twe(4) stability problem Needs testing -- The twe(4) driver has a stability problem when a lot of rapid sequential small file inserts into a new directory tree. A set of patches for the problem has been committed just before 4.10-RC3.
vmspace leak Needs testing -- Copying vm_exitingcnt to the new vmspace in vmspace_exec() can make it very high values and never drop to 0 and be freed. This can cause a system crash. A patch for the problem has been committed just before 4.10-RC3.
twa(4) fails in sysinstall Needs testing -- When a twa(4) device in a system with no SCSI controller is detected, sysinstall in 4.10-RC2 does not recognize the disks attached. It seems that this problem may involve inconsistency between the CAM device rescanning and the kernel module loading. A patch for the problem has been committed just before 4.10-RC3.
