I do ;-).  Check the message I sent in the morning.  Kernel get
alignment fault in pmap_create when it calls qzero.  The alignment
problem is that for EF-based kernel both NKREG and NUREG are not
evenly divided by 8 (both are prime, actually :) and so qzero cannot
be safely called for nbytes = N[KU]REG * something.  I don't want to
hunt subtle assumptions like this throught the tree.
