My recent change to the ipl functions in -CURRENT means that alpha kld modules will need to be recompiled before rebooting with a kernel built from version 1.14 or greater of sys/alpha/alpha/ipl_funcs.c. Klds will need to be recompiled because now that the spl functions are inlines, their symbols will not be present in the kernel. This is a good time to rebuild your modules anyway, as pal.s will be going away shortly.
