No I didn't any >PAGE_SIZE stuff in the current FreeBSD.
I did a similar thing for TRW when I worked for them
but it was not ported to FreeBSD.... actually it was, internally
but it never made it out.
We never used contigmalloc, but instead, because it was
a special purpose machine, we preallocated a separate
memory pool for huge buffers.  This is not a general solution.


I've had my fingers in a lot of places, 
but not that particular place :-)
