I have updated this patch based on feedback relating to various 
architectures md code.  I tried to model most architectures after the way 
msgbuf memory was taken.  I have no capacity to test anything other than 
i386 and amd64.  ARM is reported to work with one minor diff.  Apparently 
sparc64 worked with the earlier diff but this should be cleaner.  If 
anyone can report back on sparc64, mips, or powerpc, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jeff
