Yep.  That tunable is available in 8.2 (not 8.1), and I think in
all 9.x; dunno if it was ever MFC'd to the 7.x branch.

I was going to suggest adding a mention in the docs where verbose
boot is described, but the only verbose boot mention I found is
in Handbook 13.4.1, "Kernel Boot Flags", which doesn't seem like
a particularly good place to get into tunables.
