  Modified files:
    sys/sparc64/include  tlb.h 
  Log:
  Fix a deadlock condition with tlb shootdown ipi delivery.  Since ipis are
  not blocked by raising the pil, a reciever may be interrupted while holding
  a spinlock.  If the sender does not defer interrupts throughout the entire
  operation it may be interrupted and try to acquire a spinlock held by a
  reciever, leading to a deadlock due to the synchronization used by the
  ipi handlers themselves.
