    Bruce, I've looked at the vector assembly and it looks like cleaning
    up critical_enter() and critical_exit() for i386 ought to be simple.

    If you have a complete patch set I would like to see it posted for 
    review or comitted, or if you don't want to deal with the commit I
    would love to have it so I can bang it into shape for commit.

    Having a sleek critical_enter()/critical_exit() would double sched_lock's
    performance.

						    -Matt
