I tested the patch.

- 3 x "make -j8 buildworld" : no machine check exception

- mount nfs filesystem on the server an copied 10G of small files to
  local zfs: no machine check exception

If related zfs issues come up in the next weeks, I'll contact you.

Server now runs stable with superpages set active.
