On amd64 XENHVM depends on the xentimer device for PVH early startup,
so both should be added or removed together (like the current
dependency with xenpci). Fix this by adding xentimer to NOTES and
updating the comments on the config files. Note that on i386 there's
no such dependency between xentimer and XENHVM, since there's no PVH
support.
While there also fix the MINIMAL i386 build to include the xentimer,
so it keeps the same functionality as before xentimer was split from
XENHVM.

Remove deugging stuff, since it's arguably not needed in a minimal
setup. Also vlan, tuntap and gif since they can be loaded.
imp didn't include the part of the patch that removed xen guest support.
Xen guest is relatively small and has no way of being loaded.

Implement vt_vbefb to support Vesa Bios Extensions (VBE) framebuffer with VT.
vt_vbefb is built based on vt_efifb and is assuming similar data for
initialization, use MODINFOMD_VBE_FB to identify the structure vbe_fb
in kernel metadata.
struct vbe_fb, is populated by boot loader, and is passed to kernel via
metadata payload.

can be enabled by simply loading the module, as discussed on

tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

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.
MFC after: never
only compile in those options in GENERIC that cannot be loaded as
modules. ufs is still included because many of its options aren't
present in the kernel module. There's some other exceptions documented
in the file. This is part of some work to get more things
automatically loading in the hopes of obsoleting GENERIC one day.
