Ok, I've got ski up and running, and the kernel panics very early in boot
because it tries to initialize a mutex for a zalloc zone far too early. The
problem is due to pmap_bootstrap() using a zbootinit()'d zone. Now, I could
just hack around this if we need that zalloc zone, but pmap_bootstrap has this
comment above the code in question:
/*
* We need some PVs to cope with pmap_kenter() calls prior to
* pmap_init(). This is all a bit flaky and needs to be
* rethought, probably by avoiding the zone allocator
* entirely.
*/
so I'm wondering if it might not be better to try and fix it as the comment
suggests instead?
