when allocating memory for network buffers at interrupt time. This is due
to inadequate checking for the new mcl_map. Fixed by merging mb_map and
mcl_map into a single mb_map.

rev.1.10 two years ago. Children continued to run at splhigh()
after returning from vm_fork(). This mainly affected kernel
processes and init. For ordinary processes, interrupts are normally
unmasked a few instructions later after fork() returns (it may be
important for syscall() not to reschedule the child processes).
Kernel processes had workarounds for the problem. Init manages to
start because some routines "know" that it is safe to go to sleep
despite their caller starting them at a high ipl. Then its ipl
gets fixed on its first normal return from a syscall.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

Assuming that the intr_mask[] was updated by changing the maskptrs (the
existing update_intr_masks() function will not work) this code was
written so the PCIC controller insertion/removal events will not
interrupt the card IRQ handler events.
Some possible scenarios:
+ Card is removed during IRQ handler:
- PCIC card handler is allowed to interrupt
- card removal event is called, removing the driver and data structures
* card interrupt handler continues w/out driver, data structures, and hardware
OR (the code just committed)
* card IRQ handler has no hardware to read/write to, but has code and
data to run on (XXX- Assume it completes and doesn't spin forever)
- PCIC card handler unloads the card driver
The current situation at least leaves the card interrupt handlers the
drivers and data structures to work with although the hardware can't be
guaranteed.
