Well, I'm only an occasional observer to the VAX business, but...
- the fix will always go into -current first (that is, some 1.5${LETTER})
- the fix should then be pulled up to the release branch(es) where it applies,
after more testing.
I can't check right now what the revision tree of sys/arch/vax/vax/pmap.c is,
because the external-router.uni-bonn.de is being maintained right now. Do
a cd /usr/src/sys/arch/vax/vax/; cvs log pmap.c | less to check yourself
(assuming previous cvs or anoncvs setup).
