Uh, you can't do it on Ultrix or NetBSD (yet).  However, I added
noncontig memory support to the Stanford V-kernel.  The hardware
supports it just fine.  With MACHINE_NONCONTIG we might even support
it in NetBSD.

Hm, OK, maybe the PROM tests don't grok it properly; I've never
tried. But if memory serves, the PROM will display the config
correctly.
