Will we (FreeBSD) be sure to have this fix in -STABE before it
becomes 3.2-RELEASE?  The way this KVA issue behaves, it causes
things to break in very non-obvious ways.  It's cheap enough to
buy RAM that more and more people may find themselves running
into this.

(this is a question for freebsd-stable or the core team, of
course, and not Dave!)
