Often times I hear complaints like "my Mac hangs after upgrading to 8.1" or "snapshot CD hangs on my brand new Mac". I know some of these complaints started happening when we switched to new PAT layout. It is so puzzling because it never happened on non-Apple hardware, AFAIK. I really like to fix this problem but I cannot afford a Mac. :-P If you are one of those lucky people, please test the attached patch and report your hardware model and any improvement or regression. Also, I added a new tunable "vm.pmap.pat_works" so that you can turn it off from loader (i.e., "set vm.pmap.pat_works=0") and restore old behaviour without recompiling a new kernel. Thanks in advance! Jung-uk Kim
