On the amd64, kvoop was on the run queue for cpu 1 and another process, 
filter, looks like it must have been running in user mode when I broke 
into ddb:
(kgdb) proc 33201
[Switching to thread 127 (Thread 100113)]#0  cpustop_handler () at 
atomic.h:264
264     ATOMIC_ASM(set,      int,   "orl %1,%0",   "ir",  v);

I sure wish I could find the root cause of the hangs.  On a hunch, I 
tried setting "machdep.cpu_idle_hlt=0" on the amd64 machine, and it has 
run 32 hours without a hang.  It could just be coincidence, though...

Thanks for your help,
Guy
