The sun mmu is very broken, and we all can thank crashme for
helping me find this bug. On execution of an atomic load/store instruction the chip will only say that a read fault is happening, we then load up a readonly translation to the accessed page, and we get the fault again still showing a read-fault. We end up faulting in a loop forever and the process appears to be completely stuck. The algorithm to fix this problem goes like this. If we get a non-text fault, and the fault type is VM_PROT_READ, and the SER_PROT bit is set in the syncronous fault error register, we take a peek at the instruction at pc. If this instruction is indeed an ldstub or a swap variant we or in VM_PROT_WRITE to the fault type.
