Hey all

Please have a look at http://people.freebsd.org/~markm/mem.diff

It is a big cleanup of sys/${ARCH}/${ARCH}/mem.c, and it turns
multiple copies of MD code into MI code with the MD bits broken
out. Lots of garbage is retired.

It also turns the memory and io devices into loadable modules,
but going this route is probably for the braver folks amongst us.

I wrote 99% of this code more than a year ago, and over time, its
been tested on i386, alpha and sparc64.
