Changes (by wmb at firmworks.com):

  * owner:  dgilmore => wmb at firmworks.com
  * status:  new => assigned
  * component:  linuxbios => ofw - open firmware
  * milestone:  8.2.0 (was Update.2) => 8.2.1


Comment:

 The errors are in a region that is used for USB data structures.  The
 solution is to turn off the USB subystem before running memtest.
 Workaround:

   ok usb-quiet  memtest

 The fix is now in the OFW source code - svn 986.
