As I posted in a different thread, apparently my gcc AES changes
(r247012) manages to break a clang built kernel...  I'm in the process
of debugging right now...

I did the usual:
make buildworld && make buildkernel && make installkernel && shutdown -r now

and the kernel hung...  I then reverted r247012 and did the above again,
and the machine is running again:
FreeBSD carbon.funkthat.com 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #4 r247075M: Thu Feb 21 00:49:57 PST 2013     jmg_at_carbon.funkthat.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

And I haven't installworld yet... so somehow supporting the AES
instructions in gcc causes the kernel to miscompile...

I'm now going to diff the two kernels to find out what's different...
