 * I think this is caused by the FPU probe failing.  It only happens when
 * npxdna() returns 0, and npxdna() only returns 1 if the probe failed.
 * bcopy() is sure to be called at boot time before the npx0 probe, and
 * this might foul the probe.  There must be another bug for the crash to
 * be so long delayed.

I've been saying bcopy() but the code is actually only called from
copyin() and copyout(). ;)
