They are gone, for the most part.
r197065: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=197065

Remove extra debugging support that is turned on for head but turned off
for stable branches:

	- shift to MALLOC_PRODUCTION
	- turn off automatic crash dumps
	- Remove kernel debuggers, INVARIANTS*[1], WITNESS* from
	  GENERIC kernel config files[2]

[1] INVARIANTS* left on for ia64 by request marcel
[2] sun4v was left as-is


Regards,
Thomas

PS. 8.0-talk probably belongs on freebsd-stable@ at this point.
