Indeed. After staring at the changes for a while and getting nowhere, on a
whim, I removed everything of substance in that commit in a new build of the
head of stable/10 branch (that is, I nuked all the counter_* calls and
renamed the counter entry so that I was sure I didn't miss any) and it still
panic()d in the same way. Nothing else looks like it could possibly
manipulate spinlocks, so just to be sure I'm re-bisecting. If this
bisection yields the same result, I'll probably try diffing the generated
assembler, but I'm not sure what I expect to see from that.
Cheers,
