As I don't know what implications it would have for other drivers to 
have learning
forced enabled on locked ports, I cannot say if it is a good idea or 
not. Right now
learning is not forced either way as is, but the consensus is that 
learning should
be off with locked ports, which it would be either way in the common 
case I think.
