Just a short note to say that the MP bug I have been staring at
on and off (starting X will sometimes lead to amap or pvlist corruption)
is still present (i386).

Thinking that it may be a TLB consistency problem, I implemented
a simple TLB shootdown rendezvous, making the sending CPU wait
for all the receivers to have handled the IPI. It didn't help.

Unfortunately I seem to be the only one who can reproduce this
problem. Christos saw the same problem a few times, but it
doesn't seem to be happening anymore in his case.

I've tried pretty much everything I can think of to find this
bug, so I'm open to suggestions..
