Just did the usual process on a system that was running r344744 just
fine for a while now.  At boot time I interrupted the loader with

     set usefdt=1
     set debug.rman_debug=1
     set debug.verbose_sysinit=1

Then tried a boot -v which resulted in a nearly instantaneous panic
so early that I only ever saw the normal WARNING: WITNESS option as
usual and then :

subsystem 1000000
    vm_mem_init(0)... panic: segind 91 m 0xc000000273832bf0
cpuid = 0

Feels like the vmhat layer but tough to say.

Anyone seen a recent ppc64 kernel boot on these things?
