   Did this work after the newlock2 merge (before the idlelwp merge)?

   My amiga has the same problem.  The scsibus0 lwp has the lwp locked
when sched_pstats() run (as well as the other 2 non-idle lwps.

   Hmm, some debugging shows that cpu_switchto never returns when switching
to a newly created lwp.  This leaves the old lwp locked, and when 
sched_pstats() get called while scsibus0 is sleeping for the 2 second 
delay, the DIAGNOSTIC check fails.  This may also explain why my 
non-DIAGNOSTIC amiga kernel seems to lose time:  a 'locked' lwp is at 
IPL_HIGH until it is unlocked.

   And I now see that I'm missing some stuff when starting up a new process 
(it wasn't mentioned in doc/BRANCHES).  I'll fix that and see if things 
work better.
