FYI,

If you do get an ERL then you will want to add this patches to the kernel
and add "option KSTACK_LARGE_PAGE" to the kernel config file:

https://people.freebsd.org/~sson/mips/kstack/kstack_large_page_1.diff
https://people.freebsd.org/~sson/mips/kstack/kstack_large_page_2.diff
https://people.freebsd.org/~sson/mips/kstack/kstack_large_page_3.diff

These changes uses a larger (16K) page size for the kernel thread stack so
things like NFS don't crash the kernel.  (A better version of these changes
are scheduled to be upstreamed in the near future, FYI.)

Regards,

-stacey.
