Thanks for the suggestion Tom. I installed the latest amd64 4.0 snapshot
and everything seems to be working fine now with both the bsd and bsd.mp
kernels.

I have submitted a new dmesg, let me know if there is something else useful
(for the developers) that I could do to highlight what changed between 3.9
and the 4.0 snapshot.

Thanks again,
Jef
