To followup...

I just updated my sources, and rebuilt a kernel with DDB (DDB was the one
and only thing I added to the conf, nothing else changed) and now pcictl
pci1 no longer deadlocks the machine. I tried it as root, as a normal user,
and on serial console. When it happened the first time, I was ssh'd in as a
normal user. So either the bug went away in some recent commit to sys/ that
affected this alpha, or it took a stranger set of circumstances than I
thought and pcictl pci1 list just happened to be the last straw, as it were.
Anyway, unless anyone feels this warrants further looking into, the PR can
be closed.
