There is something wierd happening.  The problem appears to be in
ithread_remove_handler() or ithread_loop().  ithread_remove_handler() is
executing the
	if (!TD_AWAITING_INTR(ithread->it_td)) {
condition and setting the IH_DEAD flag.  If this flag is set,
ithread_remove_handler() should msleep() to wait for the thread to do
the removal.  The problem is that ithread_remove_handler() doesn't
appear to sleep for any significant amount of time, and ithread_loop()
never seems to execute the the block of code that detects IH_DEAD and
executes TAILQ_REMOVE().  When ithread_remove_handler() calls
ithread_update() after the msleep() call, ithread_update() is still
finding the handler on the list, and then ithread_remove_handler()
proceeds to free the handler back to the heap where it is undoubtably
getting stomped on and causing havoc later on.

Is there a problem with calling msleep() this early in the boot
sequence?
