Remove the hard-coded dependency on HYPERV being only x86. Instead, 100%
rely on MK_HYPERV. It's always right (since it's marked BROKEN (so set
to "no") on architectures we don't support).

nids(4) was a clever idea in the early 2000's when the market was
flooded with 10/100 NICs with Windows-only drivers, but that hasn't been
the case for ages and the driver has had no meaningful maintenance in
ages. It only supports Windows-XP era drivers.
Also remove:
- ndis support from wpa_supplicant
- ndiscvt(8)

kgdb now handles kernel module state internally, so the asf tool serves
no purpose.

The wl(4) driver supports pre-802.11 PCCard wireless adapters that
are slower than 802.11b. They do not work with any of the 802.11
framework and the driver hasn't been reported to actually work in a
long time.

The si(4) driver supported multiport serial adapters for ISA, EISA, and
PCI buses. This driver does not use bus_space, instead it depends on
direct use of the pointer returned by rman_get_virtual(). It is also
still locked by Giant and calls for patch testing to convert it to use
bus_space were unanswered.

many thanks for their continued support of FreeBSD.
While I'm there, also implement a new build knob, WITHOUT_HYPERV to
disable building and installing of the HyperV utilities when necessary.
The HyperV utilities are only built for i386 and amd64 targets.
This is a stable/10 candidate for inclusion with 10.1-RELEASE.

MFC after: 1 week
- Reconnect with some minor modifications, in particular now selsocket()
internals are adapted to use sbintime units after recent'ish calloutng
switch.
GIANT from VFS. In addition, disconnect also netsmb, which is a base
requirement for SMBFS.
In the while SMBFS regular users can use FUSE interface and smbnetfs
port to work with their SMBFS partitions.
Also, there are ongoing efforts by vendor to support in-kernel smbfs,
so there are good chances that it will get relinked once properly locked.
This is not targeted for MFC.
GIANT from VFS. In addition, disconnect also netncp, which is a base
requirement for NWFS.
In the possibility of a future maintenance of the code and later
readd to the FreeBSD base, maybe we should think about a better location
for netncp. I'm not entirely sure the / top location is actually right,
however I will let network people to comment on that more specifically.
This is not targeted for MFC.
