opt_inet6.h into kmod.mk by forcing almost everybody to eat the same
dogfood. While at it, consolidate the opt_bpf.h and opt_mroute.h
targets here too.
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.
the kernel by wrapping all targets for fake opt_*.h files in
.if defined(KERNBUILDDIR). Thus, such fake files won't be
created at all if modules are built with the kernel.
Some modules undergo cleanup like removing unused or unneeded
options or .h files, without which they wouldn't build this way
or the other.

cloning infrastructure standard in kern_conf. Modules are now
the same with or without devfs support.
If you need to detect if devfs is present, in modules or elsewhere,
check the integer variable "devfs_present".
This happily removes an ugly hack from kern/vfs_conf.c.
This forces a rename of the eventhandler and the standard clone
helper function.
Include <sys/eventhandler.h> in <sys/conf.h>: it's a helper #include
like <sys/queue.h>
Remove all #includes of opt_devfs.h they no longer matter.
This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.
include this in all kernels. Declare some const *intrq_present
variables that can be checked by a module prior to using *intrq
to queue data.

that doesn't have it. This is achieved by having minimal do-nothing stubs
enabled when there are no bpfilter devices configured.
Driver modules should be built with BPF enabled for maximum
convenience (but can be built without it for maximum performance).
XXX It probably makes sense to have a flag for bsd.kern.mk to avoid these
rules.
XXX IO_NDELAY seems to be the main reason for it, when used in a cdevsw
read or write "flag" context. Perhaps a redundant declaration
somewhere like sys/conf.h might help remove the need for vnode.h in
these device drivers in the first place.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
