I have committed your patch, but left it #undef'ed until we get
the kernel straightened out.

On behalf of the FreeBSD project I have to warn you that if you
persist in doing work of this kind over and over again, you will
eventually be subjected to a commit bit.  You have been warned :-)

Thank you very much for you work! :-)

I belive the RMT/REMOTE stuff is part of an earlier attempt at putting
in some kind of cluster functionality.

If it is useful in any capacity, even as hint of what/how to do such
a thing, I think we should leave it.  If it is just old junk we
should boot it.
