for review: sys/dev/md/md.c patch

just discovered, trying to resurrect picobsd on -current,
that the compiler in 6.x/7.x has become smart and, at least
with the default compilation flags, will optimize out
the "end_mfs_root" string from the object.
As a consequence, any checks that the preloaded module
does not overflow the allocated space (looking at the
'MFS Filesystem had better STOP here' string in the patched
object) will fail.

The attached patch fixes the issue. Any objection if i commit it ?

	cheers
