I don't have a U45 myself, can you help me understand the stack issue?
I have no problem bumping it up in general, but first would like to see
what actually causes the issue and if there is a better fix.

Which audio driver does attach on the U45?

Can you boot into ddb (Stop-A after the memory test and then "boot netbsd -d"),
try to set a breakpoint on that audio drivers attach function, e.g. like:

  db> b autri_attach
  db> c

and when it hits that breackpoint show the output of

  db> bt

and

  db> mach stack

please? Photos of the first page are fine, full captured output from serial
console would be even better.

Thanks!
