Cool..

BTW, has anybody tried running 5.2-current as a guest on vmware2?
It panics in sse2_pagezero() on my p4, so I have to break into
the debugger and reduce my cpu_class to 3.  I"m really glad that the
jsnap builds have ddb built in.. ;)

Also, tsc ticks are off by an order of magnitude, so the install was
really slow until I could switch it to the i8254.
