Hi,

Upstream have disabled PCID by default in the 10.0-RELEASE branch.

Errata Note EN-14:07 explains why:
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-14:07.pmap.asc

The bug could cause instability in openjdk-7:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=187238

So, we may want to do this same.  Although I haven't noticed any
problems that appear to be related to it.  Probably I don't have any
CPUs with PCID support.

Later 10.x releases may re-enable it, as 10-STABLE already has some
further PCID fixes.
