I don't understand this code well enough (yet) to make a recommendation.  I think
our primary concern may not be "how much code we change", but more "how can
we minimize the run-time impact on systems that don't have any mirrored memory.

Just putting all the heavy work behind a CONFIG option isn't sufficient ... we want
enterprise distributions to ship with the option turned on ... even though most
machines won't be using this feature.
