hat we are calling the AST with interrupts enabled which allows unbounded interrupt recursion. This is true in NetBSD (at least in version 1.60 of locore.s) as well. The whole idea of ASTs and SWIs is an awful hangover from the VAX; there must be a better way. -- Doug Rabson Ma

we are doing this at all. We should be able to just call the ast without changing the ipl at all. This still leaves a window in do_sir (which lowers the IPL to 1) though. Perhaps, SWIs should be handled by using another kernel thread which can be switched to instead of calling do_sir. I have to t
