This turns out to have been an unforseeable interaction between the
new CPU devices in sys/kern/subr_smp.c and the way sparc64 handles
the devices that connect to the nexus bus. njl and jhb were able
to help figure out what the problem was. A temporary "fix" just
got committed that removes the new CPU devices on sparc64 for now,
Nate will work on a better solution shortly.
