Howdy.  I've got a "diskless" PXE boot client that is crashing about
once a week or so with the following backtrace and info:

Any pearls of wisdom as to what's causing this?  My nfs options are:
rw,tcp,nfsv3,-r=32768,-w=32768 and my kernel config is included below.
I have the cores around if anyone's interested or I'm missing
something, but if I'm looking at this correctly, it seems like a race
condition which is causing a problem with one of the TAILQ macro's.

amd64/amd64/pmap.c:2590
    TAILQ_REMOVE(&m->md.pv_list, pv, pv_list);

I've been digging around on -stable, -current, and following your
recent work on HEAD, but haven't seen anything that touches this area
of code.  Being a VM rookie, seems as though this is a bug that's
being tripped in pmap_remove_pages(), but isn't caused by a bug there.
TAILQ_*()'s usage in this function seems correct.  With NFS diskless
root, zero copy sockets, and sendfile(2) in use on these machines,
there are a number of places for potential problems and I'm at a loss
as to a fix.  Any ideas?  -sc
