c71ac689e0 Implement write combining for crashdumps. This is useful when
write caching is disabled on both SCSI and IDE disks where large
memory dumps could take up to an hour to complete.

Taking an i386 scsi based system with 512MB of ram and timing (in
seconds) how long it took to complete a dump, the following results
were obtained:

Before:				After:
	WCE           TIME		WCE           TIME
	------------------		------------------
	1	141.820972		1	 15.600111
	0	797.265072		0	 65.480465

003596e098 Cleanup comment in machine/param.h regarding mbuf-related sizes, and get rid
of MCLOFSET, which does not appear to be used anywhere anymore, and if it is,
it probably shouldn't be.

263f9f6863 This is the first snapshot of the FreeBSD/ia64 kernel. This kernel will
not work on any real hardware (or fully work on any simulator). Much more
needs to happen before this is actually functional but its nice to see
the FreeBSD copyright message appear in the ia64 simulator.
