 Sorry, to clarify, that PR covered more than one issue. What I'm
 referring to was noted in my email of 07 Jul 2019, where I stated:
 "a non-debug MP kernel fails to complete booting. It hangs before
 running /sbin/init. It continues to process hardware-related events
 (e.g., I can unplug and plug in USB devices, and it continues to
 handle these correctly), but otherwise just stalls, without any
 output to indicate why." That no longer occurred for me the last time
 I tested -current, but I encountered PR 55326 instead.
