As of r277990, the powerpc64 kernel in 11-CURRENT is now a different
executable format (PIE). If you update past this revision, you *must*
make sure that you update loader(8) (through updating world) *before*
you reboot with a new kernel. If you do not this, your machine will not
boot (although you should be able to recover by booting kernel.old from
the loader prompt).
