I think it was commented out in the original merged netbsd/alpha
freebsd/i386 machdep.c.  It was probably commented out because alpha
didn't have enough infastructure to allow it to compile & Doug wanted
to just keep moving until he got something booting on SimOs & then it
was forgotten.  I don't blame him. Doug?

Yes.  But as more people use it, it happens less & less often.
