With the patch applied, during a make -j4 buildworld my box still hangs
with the following (bright-white) messages on the console:

<these messages are repeated on the screen until hang>
...
panic: APIC: Previous IPI is stuck
cpuid = 0;
boot() called on cpu#0
Uptime: 3h57m24s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
panic: malloc(M_WAITOK) in interrupt context
cpuid = 0;
KDB: enter: panic
<hangs here>


:(
