This removes SCTP from in-tree kernel configuration files. Now, SCTP
can be enabled by simply loading the module, as discussed on
freebsd-net@.

The old stack_machdep.c code was written for the APCS ABI (aka "oldabi").
When we switched to ARM EABI (back in freebsd 10) this file never got
updated, and apparently nobody noticed that until now.
The new implementation uses the same stack unwinder code used by the
arm implemenation of the db_trace stuff.
Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.
Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.
Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

The loader tunable 'debug.verbose_sysinit' may be used to toggle verbosity.
This is added to the debugging section of these kernconfs to be turned off
in stable branches for clarity of intent.

We ought to be consistent across our Tier-1 and nearly-Tier-1
architectures, so enable Capsicum for 32-bit armv6/armv7 by default.

- In configurations with a pseudo devices section, move 'device crypto'
into that section.
- Use a consistent comment. Note that other things common in kernel
configs such as GELI also require 'device crypto', not just IPSEC.

Missed in r337940.
(It's not like there are any crypto files IPsec doesn't pull in, so it is
unclear what not defining the crypto option was supposed to achieve.)

HEAD. Enable VIMAGE in GENERIC kernels and some others (where GENERIC does
not exist) on HEAD.
Disable building LINT-VIMAGE with VIMAGE being default.
This should give it a lot more exposure in the run-up to 12 to help
us evaluate whether to keep it on by default or not.
We are also hoping to get better performance testing.
The feature can be disabled using nooptions.

Transition all boards that support arm cortex CPUs to armv7. This
leaves two armv6 kernels in the tree. RPI-B, which uses the BCM2835
which has a ARM1176 core, and VERSATILEPB, which is a qemu board setup
around the time RPI-B went in. Copy std.armv6 to std.armv7, even
though that duplicates a lot of stuff. More work needs to be done to
sort out the duplication.
