hm...  thinking about it...  does the kernel assume (maybe in early
initialization) that calling qlock() without a proc is ok as long as
it can make sure it will not be held by another proc?

There's obviously at least one exception, because otherwise I would not
have got a panic at startup.  Or, for that matter there would not be
active code ahead of the

/sys/src/9/port/qlock.c:35,36
	if(up == 0)
		panic("qlock");

in qlock().  Or maybe that's where things are going wrong, but I doubt
that the code is mistaken, I know my understanding is inadequate :-)
