    sys/kern             subr_witness.c 
  Log:
  Remove a potential deadlock on i386 SMP by changing the lazypmap ipi and
  spin-wait code to use the same spin mutex (smp_tlb_mtx) as the TLB ipi
  and spin-wait code snippets so that you can't get into the situation of
  one CPU doing a TLB shootdown to another CPU that is doing a lazy pmap
  shootdown each of which are waiting on each other.  With this change, only
  one of the CPUs would do an IPI and spin-wait at a time.
