>Description:
	Some bad things can happen with DDB and apm. I'm filing this PR
for a mysterious "machine powers down a few seconds after entering ddb"
problem, but you can also single-step your way into an apm call and lose
pretty hard, too.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Not totally sure. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Esc. Type ps/w. Look at the
output. Watch the machine power itself down without a keypress or anything.
>Fix:
	Not totally sure. Add some ddb commands to disable apm interrupts,
	and then a sysctl or something to allow them to be executed
	automatically on entry to the debugger, and restored on exit.
	Or something.
