To my FreeBSD-untrained eye, it looks like we're going okay until around
this part:

IN:
0x00000000c0122008:  ldx  [ %l2 + 0x3d8 ], %g1
0x00000000c012200c:  ldx  [ %g1 + 0x18 ], %g1
0x00000000c0122010:  brz,pn   %g1, 0xc0122050
0x00000000c0122014:  nop

--------------
IN:
0x00000000c00a4d1c:  mov  %g6, %g6      ! 0x0
0x00000000c00a4d20:  sllx  %g6, 0x20, %g6
0x00000000c00a4d24:  sethi  %hi(0xbfc00000), %g7
0x00000000c00a4d28:  or  %g7, %g6, %g7
0x00000000c00a4d2c:  sethi  %hi(0x1fc00), %g6
0x00000000c00a4d30:  or  %g6, 0x3ff, %g6        ! 0x1ffff
0x00000000c00a4d34:  srlx  %g5, 0xd, %g5
0x00000000c00a4d38:  and  %g5, %g6, %g6
0x00000000c00a4d3c:  sllx  %g6, 5, %g6
0x00000000c00a4d40:  add  %g6, %g7, %g6
0x00000000c00a4d44:  ldda  [ %g6 ] (36), %g6
0x00000000c00a4d48:  brgez,pn   %g7, 0xc00b0880
0x00000000c00a4d4c:  srlx  %g6, 2, %g6


Notice a jump to a translation block that isn't the target or
continuation of the branch. Here the code at 0xc00a4d1c looks
suspiciously like that in tl1_immu_miss_patch_tsb_1 which suggests we've
bailed out to a trap handler due to an invalid address.


ATB,

Mark.
