With everything commented out, kernel begins executing and I get lots
of attach/configure messages down to "mcclock" where it hangs again,
no doubt because of the stuff that was commented out.

When I reenabled the code to switch to lwp0 stack, the previous behavior
of hanging just after returning from mach_init() reappeared.

The stack area for lwp0 reported just after mips_init_lwp0_uarea() looks
peculiar, but then I the actual address space layout for this machine
(yet).
