Don't remove the "if (lidx != 0)" code.. it's needed to avoid a recursive
lock, since pm_lock is equal to pm_obj[0].vmobjlock.

A cleaner solution is to make pm_lock seperate, init it seperately too,
and use that for global pmap locking.

Make sure to test any changes with LOCKDEBUG.

Also, there is no such thing as i386-specific cruft, since the idea
is to keep the pmaps in sync, and eventually use the same pmap for
both platforms. When I committed the amd64 port, the pmap did work
on i386 too (with modified pmap.h and pte.h files), but I haven't
tested that in a long time, it has probably bitrotted. However,
it is still my intention to merge them.

A pullup isn't a good idea for changes like this without more thorough
testing and making sure it actually fixes the reset problem.
