Re: NetBSD/vax kernel seems stable now

4000/500?
I started a build of the world yesterday on a 4000/90. Let's see who finishes 
first... :-)

Anyway, nice to see someone else back on track as well.
I think Matt's done an excellent job. My machine have been chugging away for 
more than 24 hours now, and looks very solid.
I'm at libutil right now...

By the way, Matt. Have you done anything about the atomic ops for VAX? And what 
should we do? After all, a CAS operation is hardly optimal for the VAX (a shame 
really, when we have a nice set of instructions which are guaranteed to be 
atomic). But do we even have any working MP machines possible, or could we 
almost NOP the atomic stuff?
