Interesting.

    x86# sysctl machdep |wc -l
          22

    alpha# sysctl machdep |wc -l
          11

missing machdep sysctl's that aren't PCIMCA specific include:
    machdep.msgbuf: 
    machdep.msgbuf_clear: 0
    machdep.panic_on_nmi: 1
    machdep.wall_cmos_clock: 0

Please let me know if it works now (after a full rebuild of course).
