Sorry, it was first reported and discussed on
<port-hpcmips-ja@jp.netbsd.org> mailing list, which is written in
Japanese.
There are two problems found on mips3 code in -current.
1. missing global bit.
fix found/provided initially by Urata-san on PR/9907
http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=9907
This bug makes many MIPS3 platforms hang on early boot stage.
2. MIPS_COP_0_TLB_PG_MASK has sometimes wrong value.
fix found/provided initially by Shinohara-san on port-hpcmips-ja.
This bug makes Vr4100 platform (currently NetBSD/hpcmips only)
panic, but doesn't affect R4000/R4400 platforms.
