 It has been disabled because when it first appeared it died horribly on
 alignement critical archs, and the code was XXXXX^W "not easily fixable".
 
 If the code has been cleaned up upstream, feel free to reenable it.
 Test case is simple: run ssh (using umac) on sparc64, connect to sshd on
 sparc64, if you get a shell, everything is fine.
