Yeah, it really is. Since I rewrote and tested the code myself, I can
tell you that it appears to work just fine. And the clkintr code is a bit
different depending on what model of mips machine you have. They can't
ALL be broken, and we now know that the same problem exists on at least
one other type of mips machine. It would appear that some bit of new MI code
is now broken.
I would appreciate if people could test NetBSD-current on their olivetti or
pica to see if it hangs in the same place. Because their clkintr code is
now different than mine.
