It's the same problem as on alpha.  See sys/sparc64/sparc64/machdep.c
and search for where cninit() gets called.  As far as I can tell that
needs to be moved to after mutex_init(), or at least to after where
the proc0 info gets set up.  There are a *ton* of potential calls to
panic() between where cninit() is now and where it "should" be
moved to.  I tried moving just the setup of proc0 stuff and the
section after it that talks about the per-cpu pages to above where
cninit() is now to see if I could get away without moving cninit()
but that didn't work.  Quite a bit of stuff that happens after where
cninit() is now looks like it effects the stuff I think needs to
appear before cninit()...
