Probably.  It's not been consistently useful, ever.

If it's hardware, why did it never do anything before?  I'm curious...
Was the driver overriding it somehow?

I was the original one to report the panics with > 1G of RAM, so I

No problem.  Thanks for your work on the driver.  Any info I can give to
help (aside from code; our company has NDAs with Broadcom, even if I've
never seen the data sheets, so I can be considered contaminated...) will
be gladly given.
