I have a user with a need to run a machine in varying memory
configurations.  The machine has 512MB & she needs to artificially
constrain memory to multiples of 32MB from 32MB to 512MB. (32MB, 64MB, 
96MB, 128MB ...)

I was planning on having her edit /kernel.config & change the value of
iosize npx0 and have the bootloader do a
        
        load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config

at boottime.

However, this feature appears to be broken in current. The
resource_int_value() call which grabs msize is returning ENOENT &
we're seeing the full 512MB of ram.

Is there any way around this, short of building her 16 different
kernels?

Thanks,

Drew
