Could you try the sched_userret_patch in addition to the switch_patch?
( Patch is in email to arch on 25 September with the subject
"sched_userret priority adjustment patch for sched_4bsd" 

Are you running with the current GENERIC configuration?
( If not could you send me your config file?)

My debug target is currently diskless - I will reconfigure it later this
week and hopefully will be able to reproduce your freezes.

Thanks
