I keep getting KASSERT() panics from soft interrupt handlers on SMP
macppc, usually it's about curcpu or curthread not being what some
mutex expects.

Need specifics to guess what the problem might be.

Later today ( got to leave for work ) - build.sh pretty reliably triggers it ( might take an hour or two though )


Since I don't see this on sparc64 for instance I
suspect the slow softintr code. To confirm or contradict this:
- which other archs use slow softintrs?

All except x86, vax and (conditionally) evbarm.

Hmm, for some reason I thought sparc64 had them - there goes that theory then.

have fun
