New Revision: 323290

Log:
   Speed up vm_page_array initialization.
We currently initialize the vm_page array in three passes: one to zero
   the array, one to initialize the "order" field of each page (necessary
   when inserting them into the vm_phys buddy allocator one-by-one), and
   one to initialize the remaining non-zero fields and individually insert
   each page into the allocator.
Merge the three passes into one following a suggestion from alc:
   initialize vm_page fields in a single pass, and use vm_phys_free_contig()
   to efficiently insert physical memory segments into the buddy allocator.
   This reduces the initialization time to a third or a quarter of what it
   was before on most systems that I tested.

I just found out that this commit breaks booting my powerpc64 Quad G5.
It hangs, pressing ctrl-t shows: cmd: sh [*vm active pagequeue].

Sometimes it hangs earlier when the kbd is not there yet (usb), then I can't get the process/task where it hangs.

Note, this kernel is compiled with the default gcc (4.2.1-FreeBSD)

Any ideas how to find out what's wrong?
The previous revision, r323289 seems stable, at least it survived several kernel builds.

TIA,
Andreas
