"flags npx0 0x07" also disables i586_bcopy and i586_bzero. Are those broken too? I don't see how i586_copyout or i586_copyin could be broken on any real Pentium machine. i586_bcopy and i586_bzero might not work for device memory, but extensive (:-) testing in 2.2ALPHA/BETA/GAMMA didn't show any problems.
