  Modified:    sys/i386/i386  mem.c
  Log:
  Don't allow access to illegal addresses in /dev/kmem to panic kernel
  (eg: above 0xffc00000).  Programs using /dev/kmem are implicitly racing
  the kernel, and can get right up high in memory.  I've been running
  these for some time now, but with printfs.  It's saved two panics at
  least that I can remember.
