>Description:
The interrupt path on sparc64 doesn't seem to acquire kernel_lock.
Also the trap handler doesn't acquire it before calling uvm_fault().

>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
>Fix:
For interrupts: acquire kernel_lock for interrupts registered at IPL_VM.

For trap handling: acquire kernel_lock before calling into UVM, or wait
until the vmlocking branch is merged into -current and do nothing.
