Hi all,

I tried a 2.0 -mcpu=21164pc kernel yesterday. It seems everything works ok,
except when an unaligned access occurs in userland and machdep.unaligned_fix=1.
Then after the exception handling the kernel will crash. (repeatable by trying
to run for instance chat/centericq).
I'll try to find out wether or not this is pca56 specific.
