>Description:
The recursion test at the head of pmap_pvo_enter() is
done outside of the protection of "pmap_interrupts_off()"
and hence any interrupt occuring during the test could cause
the test to fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just have a manager or customer try something trival that
you swear has been running fine for years. :-)
>Fix:
move the test below "msr = pmap_interrupts_off();"
