Yes.

Yes, it runs into a panic much earlier - apparently it manages to run  
into pool_get(), coming from uvm_init() with pp->pr_lock held. Sorry,  
I'm totally unfamiliar with that code.

Eh, probably not. IPL_SERIAL used to be very high on macppc, I  
lowered it somewhat but it's likely higher than IPL_TTY. So, in the  
New Order Of Things IPL_SERIAL should be lower (priority-wise) than  
IPL_TTY? At least sparc will have a very high priority IPL_SERIAL as  
well.

have fun
