mdsetimage on the ARM with UVM is stuffed; this is due to the page
paults not being handled properly by the kernel when mdsetimage copyouts
the data into the mmap()ed kernel image.

The unfortunate solution right now is to get mdsetimage to read into a
buffer and then bcopy that buffer into the mmap()ed kernel. This is on
the to-fix list.
