ECC status in FreeBSD

I'm getting ready to build some (hopefully) high reliability servers with
ECC memory. I'd like to put FreeBSD on them. What facilities (if any) does 
FreeBSD have for:

1) Reporting the status of ECC memory (errors corrected, errors uncorrected, etc.)?
2) Responding to uncorrectable errors?
3) Mapping out portions of memory that produce repeated errors?

It seems to me that, for an operating system that prides itself on server
stability and performance, such features are a must.
