401dc2ba52 The entropy device is no longer an option in the kernel,

dc660032ba Fix 1.117 as requested by DES, but in a different way. Generally 
degrumpify it, and add pointer to module problem that I had hit with a
stale Linux module when I upgraded to SMPNG code.

388f0464a6 Add a mild warning for people to expect problems in -current after the 
SMPng merge.  Suggest 4.x-stable for a while for those people that are
unable or unwilling to cope with problems.

After 6 hours of use tonight, my gut tells me that we're going to have
lots of problems crop up in the coming weeks.

older versions of FreeBSD.

dee72b166e Take jdp's excellent message to -current about the internat crypto

0649307288 Added a dire sounding note about how crypto is required to build the 
system.  Well, not really required if you know what you are doing, but
there's enough people that don't fit into this class that are getting
burned now that we need to say it is required.  The actual message
says that one should treat it as if it was required to try to be
weasilly for the nitpickers amoung us :-)Killed by signal 2.

Per grog's suggestion, mention bde's symbol change to the kernel.  It

7e615be101 Normally I don't put entries that should have been made months ago 
into UPDATING.  However, in this case I'm making an exception.  I'm
adding a recommendation that people update their boot blocks.  Old
boot blocks will cause a system to become unbootable if you have
removed /dev/{,r}wd*.
