OK... sparc32 question: just what the !@#!@# happens if sun4c_rett_stackchk
find (%fp & 7) != 0?  We go to ret_trap_user_stack_is_bolixed, which
tries to page in the underlying page.  OK, suppose it's already there and
readable; we return without doing anything - and go to signal_p.  Which finds
itself with nothing to do, and %fp is *still* buggered.  Spin ad infinitum?
srmmu_rett_stackchk will do the same, BTW...
