will allow people with old config options to either have it just work
(if config is new enough), or get a version error (if their config is
about 7.0 or newer) rather than getting a cryptic error about
duplicated options in the options file, or getting an error about an
unknown option, at which point they'd update their config file only to
learn they need a new config, only to learn they didn't really need to
update their config file... All this because our version checking was
in the wrong place for the past decade...

versions of config. Remove support for the syntax OLD = NEW form the
options file, and instead have a new file $S/conf/options-compat.
This file will be parsed as OLD NEW on each line. Bump version of
config. Since nothing in -current ever used this, there's no hazards
for current users, so I'm not bumping the version in the
Makefiles.$MACHINE. No need, really, for this version bump in
-current, but this was introduced into -stable before I realized the
version check was ineffective there, so the verison bump doesn't hurt
here and keeps the two branches in sync, versionwise, after the MFC.

we've parsed the config file. Makefile generation is too late if
we've introduce changes to the syntax of the metafiles to warn about
version skew, since we have to try to parse them and we get an parse
error that's rather baffling to the user rather than a 'your config is
too old, upgrade' which we should get.
We have to defer doing it until after we've read the user's config
file because we define machinename there. The version required to
compile the kernel is encoded in Makefile.machinename. There's no
real reason for this to be the case, but changing it now would
introduce some logistical issues that I'd rather avoid for the moment.
I intend to revisit this if we're still using config in FreeBSD 10.
This also means that we cannot introduce any config metafile changes
that result in a syntax error or other error for the user until 9.0 is
released. Otherwise, we break the upgrade path, or at least reduce
the usefulness of the error messages we generate.

feature. The kernel makefiles have specifically not been bumped
because nothing uses this new feature and doing so forces everybody to
recompile for no good reason. This chnage will be MFC'd where the
kernel version numbers for amd64 and ia64 will be bumped, since those
are the only two that have use the option remapping feature. Once
merged, this will give a better error message to folks that are using
buildkernel without buildworld or kernel-toolchain to update their
kernels.

OLD_OPT = NEW_OPT

interface in the config file in an upwards compatible fashion on a

You should configure the kernel with a new config(8) then.

This change will let us to have full configuration of a running kernel

sysctl -b kern.conftxt
The same configuration is also contained within the kernel image. It can be
obtained with:
config -x <kernelfile>
Current functionality lets you to quickly recover kernel configuration, by
simply redirecting output from commands presented above and starting kernel
build procedure. "include" statements are also honored, which means options
and devices from included files are also included.
Please note that comments from configuration files are not preserved by
default. In order to preserve them, you can use -C flag for config(8). This
will bring configuration file and included files literally; however,
redirection to a file no longer works directly.

As a result, if you do 'config DOESNOTEXIST', it now creates the directory
../config/DOESNOTEXIST. It did not do that before. If DEFAULTS does not
exist, it still fails early before any permanent changes.
This shameless hack restores the old behavior of ensuring the config file
actually exists before mkdiring its counterpart directory.
Now I can rmdir ../compile/D and it will stay dead, after my fingers keep
