Hi John,

I now figured out the "who", the "why" still eludes me.

So, after your MFC of ichss.c on June 27th the device now attaches at my
laptop. It didn't before, so it could cause no trouble.

With ichss loaded, the kernel will panic 1-3 minutes after powerd has
been started (if I kill powerd early enough, it seems pretty stable).

I'm now running a kernel from 2008-08-08 with
hint.ichss.0.disabled="1"

Applying your patch to kern_cpu.c does not help though. I'll be happy to
try further patches to make ichss behave well, although I'll never use
it for this laptop, as EST is the only technique useful on this old
Pentium-M.

p4tcc attaching was new relative to RELENG_6, not relative to my
working 7.x kernel of 2008-06-13.
