It would be great if someone could pick this up and devise the
appropriate fix.  I want to see this bug fixed, but I don't have the
hardware to do amd64 kernel hacking.  I'm happy to help anyone who is
interested.

So far I have one report that the patch I just backed out seems to
work, and another that it panics on startup, so this seems to point to
a CPU-specific problem.  ldmxcsr is supposed to fail if an attempt is
made to set unsupported bits in the CSR, but at the same time, the
defaults in the AMD64 architecture manual ought to work!  If this is
indeed the problem, there is a simple way to work around it.
