I just built a kernel statically & found it. Apparently, the vm_mtx
must be held around vm_map_find(), vm_map_findspace(), and
vm_map_lookup_entry(), and probably others. 

Is there any documentation what the locking requirements of various
vm functions are now? I tested osf1 after my initial set of commits to catch
alpha up to x86, but an assert must have been added since then.

Anyway, grab 1.16 of osf1_misc.c and 1.6 of imgact_osf1.c I can now
run netscape with a top-of-the tree kernel.
