hi,

I've tracked this down to a problem with the pmap code.
either of the attached two patches make the problem go away on my IPX,
which indicates that there's some problem with the cache manipulation
in pmap_kremove4_4c(), but I don't see what's wrong with the code.

any other sparc folks see what's wrong here?

-Chuck
