DragonFly 3.9 fails to boot on an Hitachi Compute Blade 2000 machine

Hardware specs:
- 8x Xeon E7-8870 CPUs (Westmere cores)
- 80 Cores, 160 threads
- 4TB RAM

- With 4TB RAM, the machine reboots by itself once the kernel has printed some copyright information

- With hw.physmem set to 64GB, the kernel is a little bit more happy but still fails to boot completely:

[start of dmesg]
...
