Err, this warning is totally meaningless to an administrator or pretty
much anybody who didn't read this patch. Wouldn't something like
kprintf("Diagnostic: pmap_interlock %08x. Please report this!\n",
pmap->pm_active)
or even
kprintf("Wow. pmap_interlock %08x. Please report this!\n", pmap->pm_active)
be more useful to both sides?
