For some time Plan 9 on sources had the 'coherence' variable in pc/devarch.c
initialised to to something that wouldn't work on an x86 that didn't have the
CPUID instruction, e.g. the 386 and most 486. I attempted to fix it a few weeks
ago, if your kernel has the current devarch.c, fns.h and l.s and still doesn't
work, let me know.
