There are a couple of uses of the global scheduler lock in some 
architecture specific locations.  They will continue to be safe with the 
4BSD scheduler.  I intended to work on these issues with the architecture 
maintainers after the threadlock patch goes in.  Can you suggest some 
alternative to sched_lock for pmap_switch in ia64?

There are a couple of these small issues that should be perfectly safe 
that I was hoping to address outside of this patch so that it didn't get 
too big.
