patm(4) devices.
Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make
infrastructure improvements. In the case of NATM we support no devices
manufactured in the last 20 years and some will not even work in modern
motherboards (some newer devices that patm(4) could be updated to
support apparently exist, but we do not currently have support).
With this change, support remains for some netgraph modules that don't
require NATM support code. It is unclear if all these should remain,
though ng_atmllc certainly stands alone.
Note well: FreeBSD 11 supports NATM and will continue to do so until at
least September 30, 2021. Improvements to the code in FreeBSD 11 are
certainly welcome.

Support for compression has been available from July 2007 but it

src.opts.mk to pull in the options. Conditionally define SYSDIR and
use SYSDIR/conf/kern.opts.mk instead of a CURDIR path. Replace all
instances of CURDIR/../../etc with STSDIR, but only in the affected
files.
As a special compatibility hack, include bsd.owm.mk at the top of
kern.opts.mk to allow the bare build of sys/modules to work on older
systems. If the defaults ever change between 9.x, 10.x and current for
these options, however, you'll wind up with the host OS' defaults
rather than the -current defaults. This hack will be removed when
we no longer need to support this build scenario.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

operations on unsigned integers of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bit size.
These are: set to new value (=), addition (+=), subtraction (-=),
multiplication (*=), division (/=), negation (= -), bitwise AND (&=),
bitwise OR (|=), bitwise eXclusive OR (^=), shift left (<<=),
shift right (>>=). Several operations are all applied to a packet

Disable the build on device drivers still depending on

For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h

As clearly mentioned on the mailing lists, there is a list of drivers
that have not been ported to the MPSAFE TTY layer yet. Remove them from
the kernel configuration files. This means people can now still use
these drivers if they explicitly put them in their kernel configuration
file, which is good.
People should keep in mind that after August 10, these drivers will not
work anymore. Even though owners of the hardware are capable of getting
these drivers working again, I will see if I can at least get them to a
compilable state (if time permits).
