4.11-STABLE/PAE

[Jason Thomson]

Patches were posted to this list by David Sze to support the amr driver
on 4.x.  (Re: Can FreeBSD be installed on DellPowerEdge2800?  10th March
05).

We have had 4.x + PAE with 6GB of ram on a Dell 2850 running flawlessly
under (occasional) heavy load for the last month.

I don't know whether those patches have been comitted,  but it would be
nice if they could be.
