Subject: sparc64 vs uvm_purge()

sparc64 is subtly broken since uvm_purge() is running in parallel.  It
became obvious that the architecture requires more MD work before more
parts of UVM can run in parallel. 

That said, such breakages are not helping.  So here's a diff I sent
before release to not run uvm_purge() w/o KERNEL_LOCK() on sparc64.
I'd like to get it in.  Anyone interested in exposing pmap/UVM races
on sparc64 will now where to start.

ok?
