This has been happening for quite a while; not only on M1's but on MII's
as well. I'm suprised it hasn't been fixed yet.

If I remember correctly, this should fix it:
	sys/arch/i386/i386/pmap.c:
		Comment out all calls to pmap_zero_page()
	sys/arch/i386/include/pmap.h:
		Comment out the definition for PMAP_PAGEIDLEZERO()

All I did was disable the in-kernel debugger, so I'm not seeing the
panics. I don't know if they're still happening or not; that's why
solution 1 is probably the best route.

Hope this helps,

Jared
