PR port-hpcmips/43738.

In general, (not specific at all ;p)
 - post-your-fix kernel +  pre-mips64-merge userland work fine
 - post-your-fix kernel + post-mips64-merge userland don't work
on mips ports I tried.

I also see:

 - sshd causes a kernel panic on ews4800mips
 - getty quits quickly on arc (as PR 43738 and martin said)
 - pmax bootloader doesn't load a kernel properly on gxemul
 - pmax binaries dump core and kernel gets "panic: utlbmod: invalid pte"

I've put pmax disk images that can be used for test on gxemul:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/tsutsui/pmax/


% gxemul -e 3max -X -d NetBSD-pmax-20100810.img
 -> loaded kernel doesn't start properly:

% gxemul -e 3max -X -d NetBSD-pmax-5.1_RC3.img
 -> works fine.

% gxemul -e 3max -X -d NetBSD-pmax-20100810-kernel-5.1_RC3-userland.img
 -> also seems working.


It smells -current toolchain has some issue.
(around default target settings?)
