Ah, I missed that, thank you.
BTW, it seems that td_locks is checked twice in normal syscallret() path: once in
syscallret() itself and then in userret().  On this note, would it make sense to
move the whole nine yards of asserts from syscallret() to userret()?
I mean it might make sense to have those checks (td_critnest, td_pflags) in other
paths to userland.
