359d22d4e9 Augment ino64 entry
When updating across this change (the introduction of ino64), the
"fast and loose" practice of rebooting to multiuser and then doing an
installworld fails with missing symbols. Recommend strongly that users
do this in single user mode. The multiuser case only ever works by
accident because its requirements are stronger than is supported
accross this change. It usually works because critical symbols don't
change their version number in libc, which wasn't the case here.

274cfcd71c Fix a number of entries (almost all mine) that were > 80 columns.
When reading UPDATING from single user in vi, I noticed a few wrapped,
so fix them to not wrap.
	expand -8 UPDATING | awk 'length > 80'
made this easy to find all the offenders.

c75f49f7d8 Make iflib a loadable module.
iflib is already a module, but it is unconditionally compiled into the
kernel.  There are drivers which do not need iflib(4), and there are
situations where somebody might not want iflib in kernel because of
using the corresponding driver as module.

7f124c950a Update the note about the need for COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> kernel options.
Rather than mentioning the requirement for 4.x binaries but not
explaining why (it was assuming an upgrade from 4.x to 5.0-current),
explain when compat options are needed (for running existing host
binaries) in a more general way while using a more modern example
(COMPAT_FREEBSD11 for 11.x binaries).  While here, explicitly mention
that a GENERIC kernel should always work.

468002c56c Add updating entry for DRM
Update messaging for which drm module to install. Add guidance on what
hardware is supported (which should be copied into the release
notes). Note: the in tree drivers are abandonware. There has been no
organized support for them for many years, and the plan is to still
remove them for all but arm once the transition to drm-*kmod is
complete. Also note that WITHOUT_MODULE_DRM and WITHOUT_MODULE_DRM2
should generally be added to src.conf for anybody using the drm-*kmod
ports. That will become default in 13 soon, however.

532dc17243 lualoader: Create a module blacklist, add DRM modules to it
This is a step in the process of easing migration into the new world order
of DRM drivers. Strongly encourage users towards loading DRM modules via
rc.conf(5) instead of loader.conf(5) by failing the load from loader(8).
Users so inclined may wipe out the blacklist via module_blacklist="" in
loader.conf(5), and it is expected that these modules will eventually be
removed from the blacklist. They may still be loaded as dependencies of
other modules or explicitly via the loader prompt, but this should not be a
major problem.

592ffb2175 Revert drm2 removal.
Revert r338177, r338176, r338175, r338174, r338172

After long consultations with re@, core members and mmacy, revert
these changes. Followup changes will be made to mark them as
deprecated and prent a message about where to find the up-to-date
driver.  Followup commits will be made to make this clear in the
installer. Followup commits to reduce POLA in ways we're still
exploring.

It's anticipated that after the freeze, this will be removed in
13-current (with the residual of the drm2 code copied to
sys/arm/dev/drm2 for the TEGRA port's use w/o the intel or
radeon drivers).

Due to the impending freeze, there was no formal core vote for
this. I've been talking to different core members all day, as well as
Matt Macey and Glen Barber. Nobody is completely happy, all are
grudgingly going along with this. Work is in progress to mitigate
the negative effects as much as possible.

Users on powerpc, 32-bit hardware, or with GPUs predating Radeon
and i915 will need to install the graphics/drm-legacy-kmod. All
other users should be able to use one of the LinuxKPI-based ports:
graphics/drm-stable-kmod, graphics/drm-next-kmod, graphics/drm-devel-kmod.

295506bf9c Turn back the clock just a little: make userboot.so always be 4th
Turns out there was a hidden dependency we hasn't counted upon.  The
host load /boot/userboot.so to boot the VMs it runs. This means that
the change to lua meant suddently that nobody could run their older
VMs because LUA wasn't in 10.0, last month's HardenedBSD, 11.2 or
whatever.  Even more than for the /boot/loader* binaries, we need a
good coexistance strategy for this. While that's being designed and
implemented, drop back to always 4th for userboot.so. This will fail
safe in all but the most extreme environments (but lua-only hacks
to .lua files won't be processes in VMs until we fix it).
