dtrace's hotkernel script reports a memory location (0xffffffff80) instead of a function name

[Alexander Best]

hi there,

while running the hotkernel dtrace script from DTraceToolkit-0.99 i noticed the
following:

[...]
kernel`sopoll_generic                                      60   0.1%

kernel`acpi_cpu_c1                                      40284  80.3%

i talked to a few people on #bsddev, but nobody could tell me what 0xffffffff80
was refering to.

kgdb(1) reports "Error accessing memory address 0xffffffff80: Bad address" for
that location.

any idea?
